Ryan, you would be 28 years old! I have lived on almost 7 years without you.
I made you 21 birthday cakes!
Taught you how to brush your teeth, tie your shoes
how to ride a bicycle and then drive a car
I sat up with you though every flu, the chicken pox
I watched every school play, every concert
Helped you with homework for 12 years
watched you graduate
But in my dreams at night these days
you are still three years old or four
My first born son
You loved the Simpsons and Ozzie Osborne and everything in the great outdoors.
We miss you.
My song for Ryan, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=105MQlnj1uU
For just one day, if I could have you here again
to see you smile, to hear you laugh, I’d give anything
but you’re gone somewhere I can’t go
on your own journey alone
you left behind the ones you loved
I wasn’t ready, I wasn’t prepared to let you go
for just one hour, if I could have you here again
to hear your voice to talk to you I’d give anything
but you’re gone somewhere Ican’t go
on your own journey alone
you left beind the ones who loved you
for just one minute, if I could have you here again
to touch your hair, to hold you tight, I’d give anything
but you’re gone somewhere I can’t go
on your own journey alone
you left behind, you left me behind
I wasn’t ready, I wasn’t prepared
to say goodbye















A wonderful tribute, Kathy — my heart breaks for you
You are in my thoughts this week, Kathy. As always, I’m humbled and inspired by your strength and your love.
Your words bring tears to my eyes. He was absolutely beautiful – your angel.
