Ryan

Our sweet Ryan is working on completing his fight. He is comfortable, pain free and has said his goodbyes. Our boys have been here with us talking with their daddy and have been so strong. Brody has his first day of kindergarten tomorrow and this was a very important day for his Dad. I believe that he will see that through and then begin to find our spot in the mountains in Heaven. Ryans family is here with us and are doing well. They have been so stong as well. Thank you all for your love and support, you have all made such a difference in this journey. Please know that today, we are all at peace and know that Ryan will continue to teach us. We will see him "Just around the corner". All is well. I am following this with his favorite reading.

**Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am. I and you are whatever we were to eachother, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used to. Put no difference in your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort without the trace of a shadow in it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity, why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well**
