Ryan,
I think of you today and while I grieve the memories we will never get to make and the life we'll never share, I feel so very grateful to have loved and been loved by you. It is my fervent hope and belief that you are held in the Arms of mercy...free of all the pain you walked with in this life. Without a doubt, I know I am more authentic, compassionate, and humbled from having walked (and crawled) your journey with you...sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
You are my beloved brother and friend, I miss you... But I rejoice knowing that you are free.
