A Mother’s Heartache: Darlie’s Words from Behind Bars: Letter from September 2018

 September 25, 2018

There are some wounds that time cannot touch. Some losses that no number of years can dull. For Darlie, the ache of losing her two little boys, Devon and Damon, is as sharp today as it was the moment they were taken from her. In her most recent letter to me, she wrote of how much she misses them, how she longs to hold them, to hear their laughter, to have even just one more moment.

But those moments will never come, not in this life. Instead, she is trapped in a brutal, chaotic place, condemned for a crime she did not commit. A crime she is a victim of. And that reality, that relentless injustice, makes her want to scream.

Even in the darkest corners of despair, she finds strength in the kindness of those who believe in her. Encouragement is not just words it is a lifeline. It is proof that there are still people who see her truth, who refuse to forget, who will not let the world erase her story.

She is holding on, even as the walls close in, even as the years press down. Because hope is not something that can be stolen. And love, especially a mother’s love, never fades.

Strength is

Standing when the weight is unbearable.

Breathing when the air is filled with sorrow.

Holding on when there is nothing left to hold.

Speaking when the world tells you to be silent.

Enduring when the days stretch endlessly.

Believing when no one else will.

A Letter from Darlie: Hope, Faith, and the Power of Manifestation

A Letter from Darlie: Hope, Faith, and the Power of Manifestation

Hope has always been at the heart of Darlie Lynn's journey. Through the years, despite the unimaginable trials she has faced, she has never wavered in her belief that truth and justice will prevail.

In October of 2018, Darlie wrote to me about The Secret, the book I had just sent her, and how it resonated with her spirit. I had hoped it would help her harness the power of manifestation...believing in the reality of her innocence being proven, and her freedom becoming a certainty. In her letter, she shared that she had been thinking deeply about this concept, about the power of faith, and about how, even in the darkest moments, light finds its way in.

She also mentioned something that had given her renewed strength: hearing about a man who was recently released after being wrongfully convicted of murder. His story filled her with even more hope, a reminder that justice, though often slow, is still possible. For Darlie, stories like his are not just uplifting they are proof that the fight is never in vain.

But the truth is, Darlie Lynn has always had hope. It is woven into her very being. She has faith in God, in herself, in her family and friends, and in the countless people who believe in her innocence. Every prayer sent her way, every word of encouragement, and every unwavering voice demanding justice,  has helped shape the reality she is manifesting: her journey home.

For Darlie, hope is not passive. It is active. It is in the prayers whispered on her behalf, the love that surrounds her, and the conviction that truth will win. She continues to believe, and because of that, we continue to believe with her.

Her story is not over yet. But through faith, hope, and the power of manifestation, she is already on her way home.
