Yet another painful day for those of us left behind....what would have been Ryan's 33rd birthday.  I wish we had a time machine so we could go back and stop the brutal event which took his life. He should be here celebrating with us instead of being cold in his grave. 

Through my own investigating I discovered that some people who should have been interviewed in Ryan's case were either overlooked or ignored.  To say the least, it upsets me.  It is no longer possible to talk to some of those who were around 10 years ago because they are no longer with us.  I met with detectives in July, hoping that what I brought to them would help lead them in directions which would renew interest in the investigation.  I am still crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.  In the meantime, the suspects continue on with their lives while Ryan will never have that chance.  I wonder how they can live with that.

Ryan's beautiful daughter Hannah will soon be a teenager, is a good student and wonderful person. She is as tall as me now!  I am thankful to have her and Wyatt, who is now 5, in my life.  I am a very proud Grandma.
