Today marks 21 weeks since Ryan died. How is that possible? Sometimes it seems like only yesterday. Most days it hurts like it was yesterday -- does the pain ever go away?
Next week will probably be another tough week.
Tuesday is Election Day -- probably one of of Ryan's favorite days! Even on non-presidential years he would stay up late and watch the results come in. I will not be having an election party this year, like we did 4 years ago. I will probably not even stay up late (especially since my favorite show won't be on due to election coverage). I will miss Ryan that day though, I will miss his excitement (and probably his disappointment at the outcome).
Tuesday is also his mom's birthday. I am sure that will be a harder day for her than it is for me, so please pray for her!
Thursday will mark 5 months since Ryan has died. 5 months. That is 1/6th of Lily and Wyatt's life. 1/6th of their life has been lived without their Daddy (not counting all the time he was in the hospital). When they are little that is so huge. I miss Ryan for Lily and Wyatt.

On a different note, it is Halloween today. I am not a huge Halloween person, but Lily and Wyatt have already been celebrating (2x's) and we will be going Trick or Treating for the first time in their lives. Look for pictures later of my two little "sweeties"!

It has been 21 weeks of Ryan seeing His heavenly Father face to face. It has been 21 weeks of completeness. 21 weeks of worshipping at His feet! 21 weeks of being home!
