I feel frustrated, stressed and heartbroken. It's the 16th anniversary of Ryan's murder and his case continues to be pushed further and further back on the shelf as Carbondale police deal with increasing crime in the city. I don't know how much longer his father and I have on this earth but we were really hoping for his case to be resolved before we pass away.
Ryan's daughter Hannah graduated from high school in May with high honors and a college scholarship so she will be off to start a brand new chapter in her life soon! Ryan would be so proud of her! 💓💓💓
Ryan has been showing up more in my dreams lately. It's always so good to see him but sad when I wake up and the dream is over.
Some wonder why those of us who have lost kids continue to talk about them. Some even think we should just "get over it". Well, you don't "get over it". They were an integral part of our lives and our hearts are broken forever. We NEED to talk about it. We NEED to know that others care as we spend the rest of our life's journey trying to cope with it. We don't need constant sympathy, just someone who is there to understand and be supportive when needed, not someone who is dismissive of our pain.
You will always be a part of our lives, Ryan. We miss you.
