A Beautiful Day

Ryan says to tell everyone Hello, and to let you guys know how great it was to see you in service on Saturday. What a wonderful revival we have had!! I sure hope that youth camp in Tennessee is half as good as this past week.

Ryan feels well today although he has had the hiccups since Sunday morning. Please continue to pray for him, because rough days do seem to be the "norm" lately. He still just smiles on, radiating God's love from within.

If you are reading this and you can ... please pray for Ryan's Hospice nurse and her family. She has just lost her dear father to cancer and only God can soothe the hurt. She is a wonderful lady who is very special to Ryan and to the rest of us.

I hope all is well. Looking forward to hearing from you......

From Mormie.....

Hey big boy! I can't believe you're 13! You are a wonderful gift from God, I have been blessed to know you and help take care of you when I'm there. When I think of you I always think of an angel, because that's what you are to me a beautiful redheaded angel! I absolutely love it when you smile, but then again who doesn't? I love you to pieces and hope you've had the best birthday ever!!

Love Mormie

From His Sissy:

Happy Birthday my sweet sweet Boy!! I want you to know that you are one of my most favorite people, living thirteen years is a big deal for such a special boy.I know that in life your supposed to live for the moment but today we are celebrating the past,*present*, and future.You are the sweetest thing that has ever been on this earth and you will always be my little God given angel. I want you to know that ill never regret taking care of you or staying home from doing something else because you are sick or cant make the trip. God give you to this family and to me for a very special purpose and that purpose is to show me love and has taught me a compassion that only comes from caring for someone special. You will always hold a spot in my heart. For all those times Ive scrooched up there next to you in your bed when your sick or I'm sad or just to love on you. I want to say thank you lord for the peace that i feel when I'm next to you all the time and especially those times.Remember Sissy loves you.

The Big 13!!!

Ryan,
WOW! You are an amazing 13 years old. I am sooooo proud of what a strong, beautiful young man you are. I thank God each and every year....month...week...day...moment that you are here with me. I know that today wasn't the best as far as how you felt, but just celebrating your thirteenth birthday has been awesome. So many of your friends were here just to let you know that you are an inspiration to them all. ESPECIALLY ME..... I wish you could know how you have impacted me deep within my very soul. You are my precious angel. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
