Cassidy brought Ryan’s yearbook to him today. Thank you so much Cassidy! You are so loved by us… Thumbing through his yearbook makes me kinda sad, knowing that he’s missed out on so many things. My sadness is short-lived, however, and turns to joy as I look at many of his friends that he’s grown up with [...]
Read moreI can only imagine the battle going on in Heaven between God and Satan over Ryan. Satan wants to cause him more harm, but God is saying an emphatic NO. I believe Ryan is still here on earth to accomplish a lot more for the Kingdom’s sake, and God will not allow anything to happen to [...]
Read morePutting the finishing touches on the deck. Should be finished sometime tomorrow (or not), just in time for Ryan’s 18th birthday this Friday. Lots of people coming over to see him. Sure hope the deck holds up… Ryan was up in his chair for a record 5 hours today. He did really well…considering. He got a [...]
Read moreWhat I love about Ryan (and there are a billion things I love about him) is that he has always been comfortable in his own skin. He’s always known who he is, and Who he believes in and serves. He has never been afraid to tell others the Good News about Jesus, and I know [...]
Read moreBefore you know it, Christmas will be upon us. Time really flies, whether you are having fun or not. I can’t believe that it’s less than a month away from the one year anniversary of Ryan’s incident. It seems like it was yesterday; yet at the same time it seems like it happened a million years ago. In [...]
Read moreThe name Ryan means “Little King”. He’s not so little anymore though, as he’s grown a couple inches during this past year. He’s put on some poundage as well. It’s really noticeable when I try moving him around. Picking him up and putting him into his wheelchair used to be a bit easier, but not [...]
Read moreI’m almost done with Ryan’s deck. Just have to finish the bench seating and ut the finishing trim on. It’ll be nice to give Ryan a change of scenery. It’ll be even nicer when we are able to build the addition. The plans are at the county getting approved…I hope. I had some Caesar Salad today. [...]
Read moreAt times it’s difficult to watch Ryan just lying there immobile and non-responsive. It saddens me to think of what he’s missing out on…his senior year, his prom, Lacrosse, dates, playing music, singing, and pretty much everything that “healthy” teenage boys get to do; things I was able to do when I was a teenager (Yeah yeah, I know. Many [...]
Read moreWhat a beautiful day the Lord made today. Of course, all days are beautiful in their own way. But today was just the right mixture of sunshine, breeze, blue skies, colorful flowers in bloom, God’s creatures gliding through the air, dancing in the trees, scurrying all around, driving cars, riding their bikes, walking, jogging, working, singing, [...]
Read moreI say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”-Lamentation 3:24 I will wait as long as I have to for the Lord to heal my son. In the meantime, I will do all that I can to the best of my ability to make his life as fulfilling as [...]
