We Got This!

"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

  1. I will be more quiet this year perhaps but Ryan is my last “cause,” everyone else has either passed or was released from prison so I need to pump some sunshine up Dad’s skirt once in a while. 🙂

    1% readers choice is awesome! How about monetizing the site through google adsense or in line ads? OR even sponsorships, you could make some good money with that.

    I HATE, HATE, that the top commented posts are the 3 they are. I wanted Ryan at Christmas dinner or Ryan talking to Mom or Mom’s post to be the top commented posts. I HATE those names and I HATE they are the 3 top commented posts.

    Keep rocking it Dude! HI RYAN, hope you are doing well and staying strong. No infections for a whole year is quite a task, pat your dad on the back for that one! Come on do it, tell him thank you dad! Do it! 🙂

  2. Please know that, as ever, my family and I are holding you and yours in the light. 🙂

    Now I’m off to show this in a more practical way. Love without action is vanity.

  3. Hi Ken, Happy New Year to you and your family!! Congratulations on the fantastic success of Ryan’s website!! People all across the country and around the world have become interested in Ryan’s story. I can only imagine how many are benefiting from the wisdom you share about the techniques, treatments and therapy you provide him. Not to mention the truth you share about your daily trials. You and Ryan are helping people you’ll never meet — people who come here looking for information, guidance, hope.
    That’s Ryan’s style — to help people however he can, and to be an example of endurance and resilience.

    On another note, I’ so happy to read more of Kari’s thoughts and watch her with her brother. Lord they are beautiful kids!! Kari’s smile melts your heart. In spite of all she’s been through, she still shines like the summer sun. Thank you again for letting us be a part of your lives!! Count me in with everyone else who felt so excited to see Ryan follow Kari’s direction and show what he can do. The signs of his healing continue to appear and it fills my heart with joy! Thank you to you and your family for including us in your lives. My perspective on many things has changed — first and foremost – how vast the love of family can and should be; and second – the extraordinary power of love. I’ve witnessed a whole new dimension of it, for which I am most grateful.

    Peace and love to you – and I remain, still here and still praying
    Hugs
    Paula
