Ryan's Heaven Day

For Ryan's heaven day this year, we invited Jake's family to our second annual balloon release and donuts (halo's) in remembrance of our angel Ryan.

Everyone wrote messages to Ryan and then we all let them go to heaven at the same time. It's really an awesome seen, and the kids loved it!

Nathan's reads ... If you were here, you would be my favorite. So sweet!

Although it was a sad day for our hearts and the sad memories of his passing day poured down upon us, we looked up to heaven and ended the day blowing him kisses, knowing Ryan was with us, knowing the messages we carry daily in our hearts for him. He is our angel watching over us, and even in his short four days on earth with us, his countenance radiated like a halo overhead.

Words can't describe the sorrow in our hearts when you passed away peacefully in my arms, for our hearts were broken in pieces, but we felt peace knowing where you had gone to, knowing it was the will of our Father in Heaven, knowing you were too precious to be far away from your Maker for too long :) We love you and miss you sweet boy!
