I have met you and your family at the Rosedale Hospice. My mom is there at this present time. I had the great opportunity of meeting Ryan when I went out into the waiting room. There was always something about him that made me smile and wonder what he was like. He seemed like a real character that had alot of interesting things on his mind. He talked to me about you and how lucky he was to have you in his life. I had just met him but in a strange way felt like I had known him for years. Then just today I was sitting in the hospice waiting room and someone came by and put Ryans book down in front of me. I knew it was a sign and I just had to take it home to read. You are lucky you were able to have the quality time together, to be able to talk about death and all the things he wanted. My mom has a mental illness that has really prevented that type of conversation, most of the time I don't think she really knows what is happening to her. It has made it more difficult for me to be able to accept her going when I don't even really know how she thinks and feels about it. But, like Ryan says in the book death really isn't something we can control and I guess people are going to go about it in differnt ways. I am really sorry for you loss, I wish you and your family all the best. |
