Ryan was born in Indiana on December 6, 1971. He had severe hemophilia, and when he was thirteen he contracted AIDS from the blood used to treat his condition. When the Indiana school district learned of his diagnosis, they refused to let him attend school. Ryan spent his remaining time on Earth courageously fighting for acceptance and understanding in the face of this horrible disease. He passed away on April 8, 1990, at the age of 18.
Ryan was an amazing human being. He helped to show the HIV/AIDS can affect anyone anywhere, no matter what their circumstances. I never knew him in his lifetime, but he has made a huge impact on my life. He is one of my heroes. I aspire to be more like him.
This page is for you, Ryan. Much love to you:)

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

World AIDS Day is here again!
Ryan,
I'm sending you lots of love today, as yet another World AIDS Day is upon us. I'm not able to send you hugs as much as I'd like to, but I think of you often. You will never be forgotten!
Much love! :)

It’s Easter time in heaven
Christ sits upon the throne
His faithful sheep are gathered 'round
This palace made of stone.
A rugged cross comes into view
Beyond the crystal sea
A sun-filled room, an empty tomb
A spectacle to see.
In heaven, God reminds us
The reason we are there
How Jesus hung upon the cross
Our burdens, He did bear.
In paradise, on Easter
As far as one can see
Are scenes of Easter long ago
And how this came to be.
There is no toil or trouble
The wages have been paid
The walls are built with diamonds
The streets are lined with jade.
The pearly gates of heaven
Such beauty to behold
The sky is clear as crystal
The walks are paved with gold.
A rainbow stretches overhead
Sweet cherubs fill the sky
Angels sing and church bells ring
They lift their voices high.
There is no need of moon and stars
Where everything is bright
For all who dwell within this land
Are bathed in Holy Light.
Like brilliant prisms in the sun
And beams of colored hue
Somewhere beyond the universe
The Lamb of God shines through.
It's Easter time in heaven
And everything is grand
The only thing that's earthly made
Are the nail scars in His hand.
