A letter from Tami

In 2023, I lost my mother and two of her sisters — all three to cancer.

One in the spring. One in the fall. One just before Christmas.

Three women from the same family. One year. Then their brother two years later, also to cancer. Their youngest brother is still fighting.

I know what it feels like to lose people before you've said everything you wanted to say. I know what it feels like to wish you had captured more of their stories. More of their laughter. More of the little things that made them who they were.

I recently asked Dad what loneliness means to him. He didn't hesitate. “Loneliness to me is not having your Mom with me.” He's 83, and he still wants to keep busy — but some days his body won't cooperate. “I like to keep busy but can't do what I used to,” he told me. “And it's making me discouraged.” That's the quiet truth of getting older that nobody talks about. That's exactly who My Silver Circle is for.

My son Josh built the technology that makes My Silver Circle possible. He's a pastor, a business owner, and a busy dad — and he still found a way to say yes to this. That's what this mission does to people. It matters.

I sew with my Dad now. He's 83. We make bowl cozies and quilts and tote bags at the kitchen table. We sign everything “Tami & Dad.”

Our sewing story began at that same table — my Mom made dresses for her three daughters right there. She and her sister grew it into a craft show business, making aprons, baskets, rugs, and handmade gifts for their community.

My Silver Circle is that table — for everyone.

The world still needs them. They are valuable. They are someone. They are important.

This is not a tech product. This is a ministry of connection.
