What a great idea! What better way to celebrate Ryan's birthday than by going to New York. I hope the two of you thoroughly enjoy eachother while remembering Ryan today.
I have such a distinct memory that's been going through my head all day. I remember sitting in the living room with Ryan and it was the time of year, approaching his birthday. I asked him what he wanted and with his adorable face, he just smiled, then made silly faces, looking up as if trying to think real hard. Then I was making jokes with him, naming silly things, pretending to come up with some ideas. Of course it turned into an on going thing for the rest of the night, and we went back and forth; the funny thing is while we had so much fun joking about it, and even when we came up with a few things that he would like, he was more caught up in having fun than actually coming out and asking for something for his birthday. Memories like that make me so sad that he's not here, but unfailingly open my eyes to how fortunate I was to have spent time with him. What an angel on earth is all I can think of. I hope all of your memories of Ryan today, and everyday, remind you not only of your angel but also the amazing love he had for his family.
My love and thoughts are with all of you.
Happy Birthday SuperRyan! Love Miss Lavin

Bubby, Lisa, Matthew, and Robert,
All of you are in my constant thoughts and prayers, along with Ryan, of course. Today was just such an inspirational day, if you will...I heard so many amazing stories from individuals I encountered who are struggling with or whom have a family memeber struggling with cancer; all I could think of was Ryan, of course.
I love you all and miss you so much; you're especially on my mind approaching Ryan's one year...Love and hugs and kisses!
Love you my Superman Ryan:)

Hi Bubby and Lisa,
We wanted to send you a very nice Christmas poem that we heard at a recent funeral for a young man that just passed away from cancer (rhabdomyosarcoma). It is a very nice poem and we hope you can find a little peace this holiday knowing that even though Ryan is not here with you physically, that he is here spiritually.
My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below.
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold
Was always most important
the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
like my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
I have for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

It's nice to hear that you are finding a "new normal" (I heard that expression on Oprah and it seems to fit you!) I admire your continuing commitment to helping children with cancer! Please know that I will burn candles brightly in honor of Ryan on the 11th!

Lisa, I can't begin to imagine the hurting heart you must have, and today I found myself crying over Ryan and thinking of you. You know that I don't believe heaven is a made-up place, but I sure do wish Ryan could be here with us now rather than there with Jesus. Cassie and I have been studying butterflies, and she asked me why they all just go away so soon. They have such beauty, bring such joy, yet they are with us for such a short time--and I thought of Ryan. He was a beautiful child who brought joy, but he was here for entirely too short a time.
I love you,
Laurie

Hi Bubby, Lisa, Matt and Robert,
I was checking Ryan's website because I have been thinking of you a lot these days. Mark doesn't always get a chance to call but we want you to know that we are always thinking of you . What a beautiful stone Ryan has. He is definitely an angel. We stop to visit him from time to time. He is such a special little boy and you are all blessed to have such a special guardian angel. Good luck with the new school year and you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

I have Ryan's website in my favorites and check back from time to time. I'm sure lots of other people do too. I never knew Ryan or your family, but "Aunt Laurie" posted a link years ago on the Jangle Scrapbooking Board, and Ryan touched me with his smile and bravery. Just wanted to let you know that others are out here still thinking about you all.

My roommates and I have finally finished moving into a new house, and now have a phone and the internet, finally....I just wanted to let you know how often all of you and Ryan are in my daily thoughts. There was a Make-A-Wish event here in Lancaster not too long ago, where the wish kids were able to ride around the area and were greeted by people lined up on the streets, waving and cheering at the brave boys and girls who were having quite a big time. As sad as it is to witness such events and miss Ryan so much, it's such a reminder of that smile and amazing spirit that he had; the one that continues to give me inspiration. I miss you all and send my love.
Matthew and Robert:
I hope you both are enjoying your summer before a new school year and keeping cool with all of this hot weather...I can't wait to visit, hopefully it can be sometime soon, until then, be good :) and have fun, and give mom and dad hugs and kisses!!!

I know God has a plan for all of us and I am sure you will be helping us here on earth from your special place in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are sent to all of you and I know you touched lives in places you can only imagine. Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I know you are sending your mom a big hug.

I saw Laurie's postings on the Jangle scrapbooking message board years ago, and have kept Ryan's website in my favorites since then. I checked in from time to time to see how he was doing, and always said a prayer for him and your family. Something made me think to check the website tonight, and I was so sorry to see the news of Ryan's passing. Please know that this special boy touched a lot of people's lives - both loved ones and strangers.
God bless you all.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Hamrick Family. My daugther Katie was in Ryan's kindergarten class (Mrs. King) at the Kindergarten Academy. Although she went onto Norwood School she often mentioned him and wondered how he was doing. We were very sorry to hear of Ryan's passing. Heaven has received a very special little angel.

I am so sorry to hear the Ryan has left us, but I know our loss is heavens gain. Ryan touched all of us in such a special way. I was just thinking about him last week. I also am saddened to realize that I was in PA not far from his home on the day of his funeral and if I had known I would have loved to be there to share his celebration of life. He will be forever in my thoughts as will the rest of his family. May God bless you all and comfort you during this difficult time. Love, Lisa

God will help you fill it back up with sweet memories.

To the Hamrick family.....I am so very sorry for your loss. However my prayer is that you may all find some comfort in the knowledge that Ryan is now the angel in Heaven that he was here on earth. He has touched so many people in his short life - more than I am sure we will ever know. His spirit has been like a ripple in a pond -we know the source...yet it will continue on and on. God bless you all.

Heaven gained a mighty special Angel yesterday.
I want you to know that I've thought and prayed for Ryan and your family for the past few years. I originally learned about Ryan through dMarie and Aunt Laurie and have had his site bookmarked ever since.
In the days ahead please find some comfort to know that Ryan touched many lives - many who are strangers but got a chance to get to know a wonderful little boy through his Caring Bridge Site. We'll continue to offer prayers for your family. I know in my heart that Ryan is looking down on all today and in some way will let you know that he is without pain and is all right.
Blessings to your family and the spirit of Ryan.

I am so sorry. I just want you to know what an angle he was to me. The time that I was with him at school, he taught me so much. I thank you for trusting me with your beautiful little boy.
Just a little something.
No one dies as long as there is one person who remembers him with fond recall...and shares a thought of him...
Someday you may be looking at the blue sky.. the most beautiful in the world--and you might feel a sudden, soft warm breeze across your cheek and you will know that he is there.
Or you might be standing on a mountain top, looking out across the sweep of a great plan..and if there is a sudden, gentle stirring among the trees..feel he is sharing the moment with you.
On Christmas Eve, if there is a small star in the sky, look at it with love and let it come into your heart...and remember him.
One really never dies while there are those on earth who loved him.
One is never gone as long as there are those who remember him with fondness...and as long as his memory evokes a wistful smile.
All who have loved, and who have been loved, have earned a piece of immortallity.
Love Donna

Ryan was and still is a very special little boy. Heaven is lucky to have such a special angel in their presence.

I was very sorry to hear the news that Ryan has joined the angels in heaven today. I am part of the Senior Social Club of Norwood that meets at St. Gabriel's. A couple of years ago, I told the Club about Ryan and sent you a small contribution. We have been praying for him and his family. Every couple of months I would report back to the Club on his condition. They would be so happy to hear that he was doing ok and coming along. I will be very sad to report Ryan's passing to them and I know they will be very upset. We will continue to pray for your family. God bless you all.

Dear Lisa, Bubby, Matthew, and Robert,
I have not called yet, but not a moment of a day, and not a day for quite a while, has passed that you all haven't been on my mind and in my heart. Ryan is an angel, has always been, and I truly believe that he is safe in the arms of Jesus when not running and playing with other saints who have gone before him. He will remain in all our hearts, though I am deeply saddened that he won't be here with us. That hurts so much. Our valiant little soldier showed courage unlike any I have ever seen, and he had the BEST smile ever--a delightful soul that shone while with us and still shines brightly. As I stood with Cassie out by the creek, with the snow on the rocks, and listened to the water trickling by, I thought how pretty and peaceful it sounded. In the brightness of the sun shining on the snow and water, I saw the beauty of that smile; in the clear blue sky above, I saw the innocence and wonder of Ryan's eyes; in the peacefulness, the quietness that Ryan often had about him; in the birds flitting about, the playfulness of Ryan--and I know I'll never look at the world around me quite the same. I love you all so very much, and I am so sorry for the hurt you must feel know, knowing that mine must pale in comparison.

How about Spiderman coming to see you for your birthday and a really cool magician, what a special treat. Because you are a very special boy. Say HI to everyone for me and stay warm.
Love You All

Hi Ryan, Happy New Year. I have been having problems with my computer and finally I'm up and running again. I Hope Christmas was nice. I know you were feeling a little tired that day. Did you see Lemony Snicket's yet? Maybe Scott and I will go this weekend. It looks pretty good. Well, I hope for a wonderful 2005 for you. Get rest when you need it, and bug your brothers when you are well. Did you get a game for Christmas? I love to play games and I like cards too. I'll write soon. Your friend, PJ

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I just came downstairs to make sure the coast was clear for kids, to check for and vacumn up the sooty footprints, to light up the tree, and to get the music going. Cassie, Timmy, and Marky will be downstairs soon, and they are so excited that I'm surprised they slept at all. But you know that "Santa rule" about everyone sleeping before he can leave presents! Have a wonderful day Lisa and Bubby, Matthew, Ryan, and Robert. We love you.

We had about 1" of snow when we woke up here in Cleveland. It was a nice suprise. It really felt like Thanksgiving. We ate all day, I hope you all did too! Family is what it's all about. My father in-law is turning 80 on the 29th and we're having a get-together for him tonight. He had a brain tumor when he was 32 years old. He is amazing and
you are one amazing child and we're all thankful that we know you. You are quite an inspiration.

Hope you and your brothers had a terrific Halloween. I had my jack-o-lantern lit and my fog machine going. (I kind of go overboard with holidays.) I wondered if you dressed up and got lots of candy. Scott discovered Mounds candy bars yesterday. He loves coconut and dark chocolate. ONly problem is he only got one Mounds candy bar. Well, that's it for now, on to the next holiday, Thanksgiving.

Hi Ryan,
Such wonderful news about what you're doing this summer, and your response to the chemo medicine. That has made my day.:)
Have you ever heard of the author Lemony Snickett? Scott has read his books, Series of Unfortunate Events and said they are really good. Jim Carrey is in the lead role in the movie version during the holidays this year. That may be a good story check out when you visit the library. It's about three orphans and their mean uncle to tries to inherit money left to them by their parents. They try to escape from him. It's sort of an adventure story.
I'll be writing soon. Have a terrific time on vacation. You are a strong, special person! And also amazing.

HI Ryan,
I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and are in school too. I have to tell you...yesterday was my husbands' birthday. I made this really fine dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Scott's tooth was so loose and he was so afraid to yank it out, he missed the whole dinner. It finally came out this morning. He was really upset about it last night. Now I know he will be starving when he gets home from school today.
I don't like loose teeth. Do you?

Hey Ryan!! Florida was beautiful!! We didn't make it to Disney, but it was okay. We did pick grapefruit from my parent's tree. It was alot of fun. The 3 legged monster dog loved the car ride and was very good (except when his collar came off at a rest stop and we tried to put it back on. People were starring at him, 'cause he was growling and screaming like a crazy dog!!)
Hope you have a wonderful EASTER and get lots of junk to eat!!!
You and yours remain in our prayers!!
Love Ya,

Hey Ryan, Us old boogers are heading south to Florida!! Looking forward to a vacation. Maybe we'll even go to DisneyWorld. We're taking the 3 legged monster dog with us. I'd love to take him to DisneyWorld,but he'd probably attack Mickey Mouse. Keep up the good work!!! You and your family remain in my prayers.

Hi Ryan! I am so glad you are not having headaches any more. The birthday party for Dr. Seuss sounds like a fun time! Guess what Cassie said about Grandpop today? She said, "Grandpop is my boy". Can you imagine calling Grandpop a *boy*?! She is still walking around talking about your birthday too, saying "Happy Birthday Ryan".

Good Morning Ryan,
I just wanted to say "hi". I'm on vacation today and it's sunny out, so I'm taking my dog Shadow for a walk. He's sitting here staring at me while I type. His tail is wagging and he's making noises because when I have my tennis shoes on, he knows we're going for a walk. I hope you have a terrific week.
Your friend, P.J.

I am looking forward to hearing your song on our multiplication CD, hopefully we will have the copies soon. I just wanted to let you know how much you are helping me get through my first year of teaching. Whenever I get frustrated I think of all the great things you have done and it helps me feel better!

Hey Ryan... So glad to hear that the chemo didn't make you sick. Now you just have to rest up and let the stuff do its job. In the meantime, I have something for you to think about. It's time to start planning the next family picnic, and I've been trying to decide on a theme for this year. The Luau was fun (you guys all looked so great in the grass skirts and doing the Limbo!). Any ideas for what we can do this year?? I could sure use some help with this.
Well, gotta get back to work. Give my love to your family and know that you are all in our prayers. Love from the whole Reynolds Gang.

I'm still fighting with the cat so I can type by myself, GEEZ. He wants to be a secretary, I guess. He must know when I'm emailing you, 'cause he runs to the keyboard and tries to step on it.
Prayers all around. Extras for Mom & Ryan!

Happy Birthday (just a little late) Ryan...Hope you have many many more! I have a 3 yr old granddaughter, Mikaela. She hasn't been feeling well lately and I asked her what I could do to make it better. She said...sing me "You are my Sunshine" I did...and she said she felt much better. I know that you are the "Sunshine" to your family. I'm hoping you continue to shine for them with your lovely smile. Pretty great to share your birthday with "Groundhog"...one of my fellow teacher's shares your birthday. Keep your chin up...you and your family are in our prayers.

I've been following your progress for awhile now through your Aunt. I always like to read about you!
It's snowing in Utah today & COLD. I'm ready for summer. I don't really believe the groundhog about how long Winter lasts, do you? I don't like Winter at all. I should be living in Hawaii. I hope you are having good weather there. Have you had enough snow to do any sledding?
I have a 9 year old daughter & she is boy crazy, ha. I also have a husband & two dogs, Lucky & Ellie. You are often in our thoughts! Hugs to you!

Happy Birthday, Ryan! I've heard so much about you from your Auntie Laurie! I know her from our Jangle Christian Friends message board. My name is Phyllis (aka PJ on the board) and I live in Washington state. I rains here an awful lot, but usually that means lots of snow in the mountains...and that means we have lots of water for our rivers and lakes here in the summertime. So we put up with the rainy winters for our beautiful summers!
We have a Yellow Lab named Sadie. She's quite the character. She loves to play fetch, like most Labs do, and will try to fetch just about anything, even rocks! She's so funny when she rolls a big round rock around the yard with her nose because it's too big for her to pick up! Of course she's growling at it as she's chasing it around - showing it who's boss!
I have two kids of my own - a boy and a girl. I hardly get to see them anymore it seems since they are both working now. But it's fun to have them and their friends around when they do come home!
My husband works with an underground utility company that puts in water mains and such. It's an interesting job, digging a big ditch down the middle of the road to put the new pipes in and then filling the ditch back in and paving the road.
We all hope you have a super birthday. Enjoy your day and have fun being TEN!!!
Love,
Phyllis <tpriikonen@hotmail.com>

Hi Ryan - Happy 10th Birthday. And Happy GoundHog's Day. You probably don't remember (since you were like only 3 hours old at the time) but your Mom actually wanted to name you Punxatawney Phil since you were born on Groundhog's Day. After putting it to a vote, she was soundly defeated and went with her third choice - Ryan (her second choice being Steven Tyler). Now you know just how lucky you really are.

Hi Sweetie! You and Robert were simply AWESOME today at the Pinewood Derby! You both did your best, and it showed in every way: you raced well, you were good sports, you cheered for others too, and you smiled and just enjoyed your day. I'm proud of you both!
Thanks for letting me share in your fun day. I'm glad you felt well enough to go, and I'm sorry you started out not feeling well today. To see you smile as the cars went flying down the track was such fun to me.
Congratulations to you for a fine race today! Please give Robert my congratulations too!
We love you,

Happy Birthday. As incredible as it may be, I was 10 once too. I got a banana seat and high rise handle bars to make my bike into a "Singray." (Ask someone over 40 what that means). After I put those parts on my bike, I was cooler than cool ("Ice Cold" as they say in the song) That was a great year.
Keep fighing the good fight. You're in my prayers and I know that in five or six years, your aunt will report that you've earned your Eagle.

Ryan, happy birthday! I have a 9 year old daughter, and 11 and 13 year old sons. We are all in Scouts like you. I'm guessing that you are a first year Webelos, congratulations! I used to be a Webelos Den leader and enjoyed it very much. One of my favorite activities was building different bridge types for the engineering activity pin. The highlight of being in Webelos was the overnight camping we did with a Boy Scout troop. It rained a lot but we still had fun cooking our meals, riding horses and sleeping in tents. Have a wonderful birthday and keep working toward that Arrow of Light!

My name is Lisa and I am a friend of Aunt Laurie from dMarie. I am not very smart because I wrote you a whole letter and then hit the button to clear it! Oh well. I heard that you have a birthday coming up and I wanted to tell you Happy Birthday. I saw your pictures from your trip to Disneyworld and I am jealous! I live closer to Disneyland in California and so I have been there a few times, but Disneyworld looks like lots more fun. Well, you be good and have a fun birthday! Tell Aunt Laurie to send us pictures of her Pinewood Derby racer, I made one once too and it was purple so I called it the Purple People Eater!

Hi Ryan!
I hope you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I just had my Birthday last week....I am an Aquarian too! I hope you get lots more presents than I did...I just got one....a popcorn popper and my husband and son didn't even bother to wrap it!...I guess that is because I'm OLD! (Well that is what my 13 year old son says! LOL!) I don't feel old....I'm only 45!
Well, I know you will have many more presents to open...I've been following your story through your Aunt Laurie and the dMarie website...you take care of yourself, stay strong..and you will grow up to be an amazing man! (I hope you get more than one present when it is your 45th birthday!)...although the popcorn popper does make excellent popcorn!
Eat a piece of cake for me! (My favorite is chocolate...what is your favorite cake?) Have the BESTEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Hi ryan, My name is Victoria and my sister Margo works with your friend P.J. I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and to let you know that even though we've never met, I wanted to send you get-well wishes and prayers. It takes a strong person to fight the battle you're in. Stay strong, stay focused on healing your body and laugh! Lots of laughter! So much laughter that you split your sides open and your guts roll out onto the floor. Sooooooo much laughter that you can't keep your butt on the chair or whatever it is you have your butt planted on at the moment. Sooooooooo much laughter that your mom has to lock you up in the "stop laughing closet" just so she can finish the conversation she was having on the telephone with the Avon Lady. Sooooooooo much laughter that you had to order disposable clothes for yourself because you laugh so hard you pee your pants. My gosh kid, you've got me laughing so much I just peed my pants. Ok, I gotta go clean up now but, hey listen, I really want you to focus, stop laughing long enough to pay attention, focus on getting rid of that stuff called cancer. Picture, in your minds eye that you are literally laughing it out of your body. Who knows, maybe it will work. At least it'll feel good while you do it! If you ever need someone to chat with bud, just email me. Anytime. Take care and God Bless You. Your friend, Victoria

Yahoo!!! I did not get to race Timmy (no time for that), but Cassie raced my car in the sibling races. We entered just for the fun of it, and if we actually competed, we'd have taken 3rd place :) Flower Power did great today, and though I didn't tell others the name of the car, everyone started calling it that. What else would you call a flower on wheels? ;) Well sweetie, have a good night, and just think--that birthday isn't all that far off now! Pinewood Derby races are cool, but you're waaaaaay cooler :)

Hey, guess what I just finished doing? I made my own Pinewood Derby car for our derby today, and I whittled it into a flower and painted it pink. So, do you think any of the other Cubs will have cars like mine? :-) Timmy is going to race against me after the race, and he said that if my flower power car is faster than his shiny sleek bronze car, that he's making a flower next year!
Well, time to get ready for the races. Enjoy your day! I hope you get to play in the snow!!!

I heard you are bigging the big 1-O. What do you want for your birthday? I heard your birthday is on Feb.2, I thought that was cool because mine is on Feb.4.
One day when my family and I went to TGI Fridays for my sisters birthday they sang her a song to a military tune it went like this.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD
I don't know what I've been told
RYAN HERE IS GETTING OLD

I love looking at your picture album..what a handsome little guy you are!!!

We did have some snow but now it's like springtime here. Hopefully you had a little bit of a white Christmas. I was in Pa last week to ski and I could not believe they had NO SNOW!

May we be willing to communicate with listening ears and open hearts - embracing our similiarities and celebrating our differences. May you find bright spots of joy in each.

Hello again Ryan :)
I was just looking at all the entries in your guestbook and realized that I not told you this lately: I think you are truly blessed with a strong spirit and the ability to face tough times with far greater courage than anyone else I have ever known. I am very proud of you, and I love you a whole lot. There's a lady I know from the internet, and she is a friend though I have not met her in person, and she has this saying: celebrate every day because every day is worth celebrating. She had cancer twice too. Celebrating every day is not easy for me to remember to do because I get so busy with stuff, but when I think of all the things in my life that I do have to celebrate, one of those things is you, for you are a precious gift from God who I am privileged enough to call nephew. You are one special boy, Ryan, one very special boy!
Love, Aunt Laurie <laurie@ampwares.com>

Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right to the Hamrick door...
Are you ready? Silly question--of course you are! I can't wait to see you on Christmas! Cassie is totally in love with Santa Claus. Of course, she doesn't love him as much as she loves you, but she sure does like that every time he sees her he gives her a gift :) But then who wouldn't just adore someone who gives them gifts all the time? Smart girl, huh?
You know how she just LOVES birthdays and especially blowing out candles? Well, she's really going to love this: she gets to blow out the candles on our "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake--and even though it's His birthday, she gets the gifts. We all do, don't we? I love the gift of your smile -- that's about the sweetest thing I could ever be given. So, you be sure to share a smile with me on Christmas Day, ok?
Love, Aunt Laurie <laurie@ampwares.com>

Just found out about you and the Shamrock Foundation. My husband and I will be praying for you. Jesus allows us all to go through difficult times in our lives so we are caused to trust Him more and draw closer to Him. We are praying that you will really sense God's presence in your life and that He will give you the strength to endure. Love - Gary & Kandi Stake
P.S. We have a daughter 26 and two grandchildren, Olivia - 2 yrs. old, and Cole (short for Michael) who is 9 months old.

I wanted to tell you I am having so much fun with you and the rest of the kids in our class. I am so excited for our Halloween party tomorrow, I can't wait to see your costume. You are doing a great job in school, I am so proud of you! I hope you told everyone how you walked down the steps the other day with your new brace! You were great!
Happy Halloween

Hi Ryan!
I'm glad school is going well for you. Things here are starting to calm down a little bit.
How's Robert like school? I'm sure Matt would rather be doing something else.
My son Robby is playing football for the 9th grade team at Interboro - he loves it!!!
It scares me!
I pray for you everyday - tell Mom & Dad I said Hi!!

Hey Ryan, We finally get to meet our dog on Sunday 10/12. We're so excited!!! I will email your Aunt Laurie a picture of him. He's soooo cute.
I will keep you in my prayers that your chemo goes smoothly and you "pass" your tests with flying colors!!
Are you having a great time at school? I was really glad to hear about your getting a leg brace and crutches. You don' need no stinkin' wheelchair!!! Way to go, Kiddo!!!
God bless you and your family. Jan

Hey Ryan, Hope school is turning out to be as much fun as you hoped. We still haven't gotten the new 3-legged dog yet. We're waiting to hear from the doggie adoption people. Man oh man waiting stinks, as I'm sure you know!!! But, half the fun is in the wanting and the other half in the getting!! As soon as we get the new little man, we will send pictures.
Hope you and your family remaim well and happy. You are in our prayers, as always. Jan

So glad to hear that the whole family is having a great summer! Belated happy birthday to Robert! Ryan, I think you need to give Robert either a pinch or a tickle for each of his 7 years - you make the call which one he gets. :) Have a blast at school, and we'll see you all soon! Love, your cousin

Hi Ryan!
I hope you are having a great summer. I am looking forward to seeing you when school starts. I am a little upset that we won't be in the same classroom this year, so don't forget to wave and say hi to me when you see me at school! Guess what, we got a new puppy and an older dog. We now have 3 Belgians and I will be helping my mommy train them. My mommy says that our middle dog, Mystic is a "Canine Good Citizen" so if you would like to play with him sometime, we could bring him over for a visit. We could bring the other ones over too, but the older dog, Tete, burps and farts alot and they REALLY stink. The new puppy is really really cute. Her name is Harlot, her breeder named her that, so we call her Harley instead. My mommy says that these dogs are the best kind of dogs for children, so I know they would love to be your friend too! Well, you can talk to your mommy about a visit and let me know...OK?
SEE YOU SOON!!!
Megan Gatelein and mom, Jan Wooters
P.S.
Let us know if you are ever in need of ANYTHING! Just give us a call or you can email my mommy!
Ta Ta for now!

Hey Ryan, From reading the other entries, it sounds like you're out and about!!! Loved the pictures too!!! My husband and I are adopting a dog soon. He only has 3 legs!!! I'll send you pictures as soon as we get him. His name is "Little Bit of Lucky". Lucky was a dog we had who was very very good. This one is much smaller than Lucky, so... Have a terrific rest of the summer. God bless you and your family. You remain in our prayers

Hi Ryan! Cassie can say your name very nicely now :) But, she saw Dr. T yesterday, and she can't say her name quite right at all. She calls her "Chocky". I thought she was asking for chocolate, but once we could leave the doctor office, she wanted to see Dr. Chocky. She asked, "Where Chocky go?" What do you think? Did our Cassie just rename Dr. T? I hope to see you reeeeeeal soon!

Hi Cutie! I've been thinking of you guys and hoping that your summer is going well. I can't believe school will be starting in a few weeks already! I'm almost ready, how about you guys? If you get a chance, stop by my room when school starts. (The pictures on the webpage are cool! I love the wheelchair - you guys did a great job decorating it!)
Love, Mrs. King <Kinglk@interborosd.org>

Hi Ryan, Wow I heard about your medal on the 4th of July!! Then I saw the picture on the web site. I heard from Kathleen that you are having a great summer. I miss you so much. I think that it s great that you are going to story hour. I used to be the librarian at Ridley Township and did story hour all the time. Science in the summer is fun also. I bet you ll love the beach. Where did you go? I ll talk to you soon. Help Robert get ready for second grade by reading with him. That would be a great big brother!!

Hi Ryan,
I was glad to read about your busy summer. I loved the great job you all did in decorating your wheelchair for the 4th of July. Hope your enjoying the week at the beach. I grew up down in Wildwood Crest and love the sand. I'm sure you will enjoy the rides too. See you when school starts and Hello to your family.

Hi Cutie!!! I was just checking in to see how your summer is going. I'm glad to see things are going well for you! It sounds like you are really keeping on top of your school work and still having fun. That's a good thing! I'm with you on the beach, though - too crowded, too hot and too sandy!!! I like the rides at night with all the lights on!! Oh well, know I've been thinging of you and your family! Tell everyone I said hi!

Hey Ryan, I just read Noelle's message to you. It sounds like she is trying to get you fat! I agree with her though. Have fun trying out all the goodies on the boardwalk :)
(Uh oh, do you think Dr. T will read this and think your cousin and your aunt both want to fatten you up by filling you up on those great foods? Maybe I better not sign my name or she will scold me for telling you to eat that stuff :))
I'm not saying this time :)
- Sunday, July 27, 2003 1:10 PM CDT
Hi Ryan!
I am so glad you came to our home yesterday to celebrate Cassie's birthday with us! She sure does love you. I don't think you could hear her yesterday when Gram and Grandpop were driving away, but she was saying "Bye-bye" and "See ya" to you. She blew kisses too, but she only makes a kiss--doesn't throw it to you with her hand. She has her own way of doing things :)
You sure look good! What a great tan you have, and your hair is so thick. Best of all is that smile of yours--love it!!
Well, drummer boy, do you think you want to try out Marky's drums again? Pretty cool, huh? Cassie is his biggest fan. Every time he plays drums, she dances.
Did you try out Timmy's keyboard? Or wasn't that as fun as the drums? You can't go as crazy on the keyboard as you can on the drums, especially if Uncle Mark is around!
Well, sweetie, I have to scan some pictures into the computer for Mommy--of you. I'll e-mail them to her, so you be sure to tell her you want to see yourself on the computer, ok?
I was happy to see you. Say hi to Matthew, Robert, Mommy, and Daddy from me, ok? Love you guys!!!

Hi, Ryan! Congratulations on winning a prize at the 4th of July parade! That's awesome. I'm so happy to hear you are feeling well! Have a great time at the shore, and be sure to eat lots of frozen custard, boardwalk fries and funnel cake! (I can almost taste all of them! Oh, wait - I forgot the cotton candy!) After all that food, you just may want to wait a little while before going on the rides! Lots of love to you and the rest of your family -

Hi Ryan,
I hope summer is going well for you!! I talked to Mrs. Sim about a week ago and she was telling me about story hour and that you go swimming. She also said Miss Lenox is teaching math to you. I just rented a movie the other night with your gift card and I ate the popcorn down at the shore with Brad who is my daughter s boyfriends brother. He was down at the beach with me and we went golfing and rode a surry. He is 15 and goes to school in Lancaster. He just was in Orlando at a conference for school and went to Disney World. I hope things are good with you. !! I ll be giving mom a call. I just talked to Krista DiRocco also about at week ago. She was in Colorado. Mr. Korinth is now our principal. He got sworn in last night. Write and tell me what you have been doing.

Hey Ryan! How are you? Hope you are enjoying your summer. I
was away for a week. I had to go to school in San Francisco. San Francisco--- great! School ---- yuck. Oh well, if it weren't for the school part, I wouldn't have gotten there at all, so I guess it was worth it. There's a town near San Francisco called Monterey. It's a lot like the seashore here, only there are lots of sea lions and otters right on the beach! The aquariums' mascot's name is
Hairy Otter and he has big glasses just like Harry Potter.
Oh well, guess I should get back to work. Give my love to all the family.

Hey Ryan, it sounds like you are keeping very busy! Cassie loves to look at your picture, and she is still trying to say your name. It sounds like Ronnie. She mixes up the sounds :) She smiles very big when we visit your website. Guess what she just did? She just went and got her baby to show to you on the computer. She sure is silly, but she is pretty nice too, isn't she? She is now walking around saying "hug ronny"--that's YOU! Do you know what else she does that I think is funny? She walks around the house calling out "Cassie, Cassie", then she says "comin' , comin' "! We are hoping to see your real soon. Hugs and kisses from all of us,

Thought you'd like to know that I took Danny and Matt to the circus this weekend and I was able to resist the urge to stand under the elephant this time. Dan and Matt, however, did ride on top of it and said it was great fun.
Take care, kiddo. Love and prayers to you and your whole family.

HI Ryan,
It's Ro Ro and Renee. We wanted to see if you had a good time in Disney World and it was nice to read all about it and see the pictures. How funny is it that you were at the gate when we were arriving in Disney World last week. What a small world. We had no idea that you were going to Disney until the night before we left and read it here on the web site. Well, we hope you had a good time and it was nice to see you again. We love all of your pictures with your brothers. What a handsome bunch of boys you are. Take care.

Ryan, I have to tell you what Cassie did yesterday. Her very favorite book is "Moo, Baa, La La La", and she is reading it with me. Her newest word is sheep. She looked at the picture, then she said she wants to see um-op (Grandpop) and sheep Hammie! She thinks Hammie is a sheep! She remembers Grandpop picking Hammie up to take her home, so knows her "sheep" is with Grandpop. So, did you know Gram and Grandpop have a sheep?! Our Cassie is a funny girl, isn't she? I love you, and I'm glad to hear that you've gone to school and outside to play. Disney should have tired you out! But I guess noone told you and that's why you are so busy now :-)
Love, Aunt Laurie

Hi Ryan! Did I read that you were going to the circus? That's really neat! When I was little (many, many, many, many years ago) my Dad took me to the circus. When his back was turned I wandered off and he finally found me in the elephant tent standing underneath one of the elephants! They never took me to the circus again! I wonder why??
Hope you had a great time. Love to you and the whole gang,

Dear Ryan,
Hey buddy whats new? I wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you today while taking my last teachers exam for the third time. When I started to get frustrated I thought of how hard you fight every day and how strong you are. It helped me to get through the most difficult part of the test, although I dont know how I did on the test, I knew that I could do it because of you. Thank you for everything. Have a great weekend.
Love,
Krista DiRocco

Dear Ryan, It looks like you had a happy Easter but tell your dad that YOU need the hat, not him. You sure looked good in that suit--your brother looked like he couldn't wait to get out of his. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you don't have to see doctors any time soon. Lots of love,

Hi Ryan! Guess what our Cassie did today. She thinks that she can play Nintendo even when that thing you hold in your hands isn't attached to the game. Well, she had it today, and she aimed it at Tellie Tubbies, and I think she really thought that SHE was the one making Tinky Winky jump. Isn't she silly! Now she's pretending to be Uncle Mark. He doesn't feel good, so he's been wrapping up in a blanket laying down on the couch. That's what Cassie is doing now, but there is one big difference...I have never seen Uncle Mark suck his thumb. Now THAT would be pretty funny! Love you honey!
Hugs and kisses from Cassie and Aunt Laurie

From Mr. and Mrs. S and J.J.'s brother Wayne: We are glad to hear that you are back at home. Let's hope that all this rain goes away so you can get out and enjoy some April sunshine and flowers soon! Take care and hang in there while you wait for the Easter bunny. The Seefeldt Family

Hi Ryan, Wow I talked to mom and Robert today. Heard you are eating up a storm. MMMMM sounds good. We were busy today. Some of the kids got in trouble. They took Merissa s pepperoni lunch!!! She ended up finally getting a new one. She was crying. Elizabeth misses you so much. She asks about you every day. Guess what?? Mrs. Sim forgot she had a "lunch date" with Robert. And I said I d be a substitute but he only said Mrs. Sim would do. He put in a reservation though to be in my class. He really is a funny guy!! He s a good little brother. I heard you are talking non stop!!! Send me back an email when you feel up to it and I ll read it to the class. We miss you!!

He was cheering then i told him April fools, and he was very mad. He tried to tell me there was a mouse in the kitchen. I was almost fooled. He definitely can't take a joke. i hope you are feeling better.

Cassie always likes being with you too, and she sure did have fun with you at the party at Gram's. You know what? She has an extra special smile that I only see when you talk to her :) I like your friends very much, and it sure was nice to meet some friends of yours that I haven't met before.

Hi Ryan,
You looked like you were really enjoying the math lesson yesterday when I stopped by.
Math is one of my favorite subjects. Everyone asks me who made that great sculpure on my desk.
It is a terrific paperclip holder. Keep up the good work in school.

Hi Ryan and family!!!
Really hope the MRI went well yesterday!! Hows the signing coming along??? Our regular speach therepist is on maternity leave, and the new one doesn't know sign, so Katie hasn't learned anything new. We are using picture boards though. One of the draw backs of being in a small town, we only have the one therepist! Take care and we are praying for some good news soon.

Dear Ryan and family,
It is great to hear that you are feeling good! My son's best friend has just gotten special hearing aids like yours, his teacher has a special microphone that she uses for him to hear better but sometimes she forgets to shut it off when she goes out in the hall to talk to another teacher and so Evan can hear everything they are saying!!!
He says he feels like he is a spy when that happens!!
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Ryan, I am so happy for you that your MRI is clear!! That is wonderful and a great Christmas present in itself. I found your site from the medulloblastoma group as my son, Jacob was diagnosed almost two years ago with medullo. The Lord is still in the healing business and we are believing for a healing. You are certainly a fighter, Ryan. You're parents must be proud!! You can see Jake's story at

Hi Ryan,
It's time for some more jokes and just in time for Halloween. Maybe you can tell your classmates since you are back in school. You are so smart to be able to keep up with your school work.
(Don't forget to highlight for the answer)
What did one ghost say to the other ghost?
"Do you believe in people?"
What do you call a witch who lives at the beach?
A sand witch.
What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost?
Bamboo.
Why don't mummies take vacations?
They're afraid they'll relax and unwind.
Why wasn't there any food left after the monster party?
Because everyone was a goblin!

Well hey there Ryan!!
I just got an update from your Aunt Laurie that you're doing fantastic! So I hopped over here to the site to see for myself! I love those pictures! You and your Grandpop make quite a pair! (Did you beat him in bowling??) Speaking of bowling!! Did you know those bowling shoes you were showing off in the pictures, are the "in-est" thing???? If you go to a shoe store I'll bet you'll see them. Especially for the guys shoes. They really look like BOWLING shoes! Pretty weird huh? My brother thinks they are really cool, but he's always been a bit weird! "o)
Well kiddo, you continue having fun and doing well in school! And remember there is this silly lady in St. Louis that thinks you're cool AND who is very happy for you!
Have a FUN, Happy and Laughable kind of week!!

I have a really cute class this year and they seem pretty good at doing Kid Writing already! I think it's going to be a fun time with them. Well, on you way home stop in sometime and say Hi!

Who's the penguin's favorite Aunt?

If a rooster lays an egg on the top of a slanted roof, on which side will it fall?

Dear Ryan,
It was great to see you just for a visit (not as the patient!) and see that you are back to giving your mom a hard time. (Who would have thunk that giving your mom a hard time is a good thing, but it means you are feeling better.) Seeing your brother was fun too. I have been spending my time off getting stuff done around the house and sitting on my front porch reading a novel--no bon bons, sorry. Did I tell you I have a new puppy? She has been getting into her share of trouble but since she's so adorable, she gets forgiven. You and your family are in my thoughts even when I'm on vacation. Much love,

It's been a long time since I have been able to check on you. I was sending you a message two weeks ago and my dear old computer got sick and dropped your message off and went to sleep for two weeks until we could get it fixed.
I am so happy you had a good time at camp. I know it was fun to take your family with you. Maybe you can talk your MOM into telling us all about it.

I hope you had a fun time camping, my little girl is to young to go to anything like that yet, but we are thinking of pitching a tent in the backyard for a night, but we live in the bush and there is a bear getting into our garbage so we might have to wait or put the tent in the livingroom!

Dear Ryan,
I hope you had a great time at camp. I went to camp in Maine when I was a little older than you and I still remember how beautiful it was. It was a good week to be out of the heat here. In Maine, it can get hot too, but it ususally cools off more at night. Did you go swimming to cool off? Did you do any new sports like archery? Tell Aunt Laurie to add to the journal so we can all hear about your trip. Lots of love, Dr. T

One game I taught my kids while we were in the car is to try and "spell" (fingerspell) street signs before the next street sign came by. It was fun to race and we all got very good at finger spelling. Now I can do it in my sleep! Haha.
By the way...how about a new game for everyone to join in on. This game ALWAYS makes me hungy!
Let's list in Alphabetical order Yummy FOODS! O.k? So let me start...

Hi Ryan,
Here is a little funny story for you . . .
A teacher had a kindergardner who came up to her and said that he had found a frog. The teacher asked if the frog was alive or dead and the boy said it was dead. The teacher asked the boy how he knew the frog was dead and the boy said, "I pissed in its ear." The teacher said, "You what?" The boy said, "I went to the frog's ear and said PSST and it didn't move so it must be dead."
I hope you thought it was funny.

Oh poop, you had to go back to that hospital on the 4th--what a bummer. I'd say this is definitely a double scoop poop--how about you? But shhhhhhhh...just don't tell Dad on me, ok? I love you, and I know you're getting great care, and I can't wait to hear you're home again. Great big germ-free hugs coming your way kiddo! ((((((((((RYAN))))))))))
Love, Aunt Laurie & some germ-free baby drool from Cassie too :) <cr8tv_1@yahoo.com>

Hi Ryan, I'm sorry to hear you are back in the hospital agian. You must feel like a yo-yo going back and forth between there and home. I'll pray that this stay will be real short! Hi to Mom and Dad and your brothers - hang in there!

Hi Ryan, how does it feel to be a big 2nd grader? Congratulations on passing the first grade! I hope you get a really nice teacher next year. I hope the MRI test is quick & not too painful for you. Good luck! You are in our prayers!

Hi Ryan! Mommy tells me how very good you are by doing all the right things. That is terrrriffffffic!!! Hey, guess who I'll see tomorrow? Dr. T. I guess I shouldn't take her any eggs cooked on the sidewalk, huh? hee, hee! I love you :)

Just a quick hello to say I'm glad you're home and I hope you are starting to feel like eating. (but I'd avoid eggs cooked on the sidewalk--talk about grits!) Lots of love, Dr. T

Hey Ryan, me again! I really want to visit you, but I've been waiting until we know that noone here has any yucky germs to share--and just about everyone has needed a doctor for some catchy thing lately. Cassie is getting her 8th tooth, and she chews on everything. She reminds me of a puppy because she'll even chew on shoes. In fact, shoes are one of her favorites! And guess what else she likes? Climbing! She almost climbed onto the couch today, so we really have to watch her closely because she's turning into quite the little monkey! Timmy, Marky, and Uncle Mark say to say hi to you and to tell you they miss you and love you. We're all praying that you just feel better and better because we love you and don't want you to feel yucky. I hope you're hanging around inside and staying cool because it is too hot to be outside--could cook an egg on the sidewalk these days I think! If I did cook an egg on the sidewalk, would you eat it? ;)
I love you Ryan! Aunt Laurie <cr8tv_1@yahoo.com>
- Saturday, June 29, 2002 at 10:38 AM (CDT)
Hey Ryan! How cool that you are home again! I am sooooo happy for you :) I am happy too to know that God answered all of our prayers to heal up that nasty liver problem :) Big germ-free hugs coming your way!!! (((Ryan)))

I am so excited to see you are home with your family. I know your "SMILE" is as "BIG" as it can be. Are you eating Mom's good cooking? I hope to read a note from Aunt Laurie soon that you are eating and gaining weight. That would make me smile. Keep up the good work and have fun playing with Robert and Matthew and all your cousins.

Well, I hope to hear soon that you will be eating "real food" and mom can retire from her nursing job! I'd like to come visit you. We'll see if we can work out a date the first week of July.

I am so sorry you had to stay in the hospital a little longer. I know that made you sad. I am praying that you will be able to keep that food down and get out of there soon. I know Mommy's cooking will be so much better and getting to eat with Matthew and Robert will be fun too. I can't wait to see pictures of that "BIG" smile of yours as you say, "Good Bye", to all the nurses and doctors at the hospital. You are a "GREAT KID"!

Dear Ryan,
I know that you're unhappy that you couldn't go home yesterday, but the doctors thought it would be worse to go home and then have to come back if you couldn't keep down your food. Hang in there a little longer and you'll get out of that hospital and stay out. I'm glad that you are better enough to get "hospitalitis" (that's a big word to say that you're sick of that place!) Lots of love, Dr. T

Congratulations Matthew, Ryan and Robert for those great report cards! I hope you all have some fun adventures this summer. My children still have 2 weeks of school to go (Yuck!), but most of it will be fun stuff like field trips and sports day. They are looking forward to the end of school too. I think they want to see the new Scooby-Doo movie once school is out and they REALLY want to see the next Stuart Little movie, it looks so funny.

"GOING HOME" sounds like a good idea, just in time for Robert and Matthew to be out of school for the summer. All of you are going to have so much fun being together again. This calls for a "BIG" celebration. I know your Mom and Dad, Matthew and Robert, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, teachers, and friends have "HAPPY FACES"! I sure do!

Happy Sunday Morning, Ryan and Family,
"This is the day the Lord has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it." A scripture from the BIBLE
This is the last day of our ABC story for you. It has been so much fun and I hope you are feeling better now and your Mom can read it with you. I have enjoyed coming here every day to check on you and write a silly part for your storytime.
Come go around the world to New ZEALAND with me and ZACH, the ZANY ZOO Keeper. We are looking for a special ZEBRA for his ZOO. We are ZOOMING around in his jeep trying to find one that is ZANY and can ZIG-ZAG through the trees. When we finally find just the right one, he is sooo tired that he is sleeping(ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ). While we wait for him to wake up, we sit down and eat some ZUCCHINI squash and drink some ZUGA juice drinks. What a wonderful END to our adventure.
Keep smiling, walking, eating, and getting better everyday!

I hope Mrs. King has another game up her sleeve, but I really hope you'll be home soon and the next game won't get anywhere near the letter X again. The X games were in Phillie but I'm not XENOPHOBIC (afraid of foreigners) so I'll travel to China and visit XI'AN and then travel south to the Xi River where it empties into the South China Sea near Hong Kong.

I am going to the hospital this morning with my little friend, XAVIER. He is going to have an XRAY to see if he has broken his arm. He fell off his bicycle. I hope it is not broken because he is to play his XYLOPHONE at school today for his class. After his XRAY, the eXPERT doctors will read it, and if it is broken, they will put a cast on his arm. When he is all fiXed up, we want to come see you. Ask Mom if it is OK?
I am sending you cyber(((HUGS)))and kisses X X X X X X for the EXTRA special news about you getting better!

Doesn't she know that with computers I can write to you from anywhere??? Even when wearing only my underWARE? hee, hee! Dr. T really did see him too, as she said, to fix up Timmy's messed up face. He has sunburn from a school day outside, and he really hates the blisters and itching that come along with it. But Dr. T fixed him up :)

WELL. Mr. Ryan,
Miss Vicki from California used all the good "W" words in her message. HA,HA,HA!!! SOOOOOO, I am going to have to WORK real hard to think of some other ones.
I am just WONDERING if you WOULD go to WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH me and see President Bush. Do you think he WOULD have time to WALK through the WHITE House with us and show us the paintings of the other presidents before him, maybe George WASHINGTON and WOODROW WILSON. I WILL pull you in a little Red, WHITE, and Blue WAGON. If we get to eat lunch there, WHAT WOULD you like to eat? I think I WILL eat a WHATABURGER, a big Texas hamburger, and some WATERMELON for dessert.
I am so glad you got to see Bert and Ernie! They always make everyone smile. I hope you had a good visit with them. Also, I am so happy to hear you got out of bed and walked down the hall. Boy, you are doing "GREAT"!

Sorry to hear that you aren't eating much. Those VEGGIES are full of VITAMINS and good for your VEINS. Do you like VEGETABLES? I hope that you are feeling better soon. Keep up your VALIANT fight and you will be VICTORIOUS.

I guess I get to start the story today. So here goes......
I decided to VISIT the state of VERMONT for a VACATION with Uncle VICTOR. I am looking forward to the VIBRANT colored leaves in the fall. Uncle VICTOR has his VIOLIN and I want him to play some beautiful music for me, maybe "VICTORY in Jesus". It is my favorite church song. Afterwards, I think we will go to his favorite restuarant for fresh VEGETABLES and homemade VANILLA ice cream.

Dear Ryan,
There once was a little girl named Sarah, who had a best friend. Her friend Comfy, was liked by a lot of other people too. But some people only talked to Comfy when they needed his help. Like to help look for something they lost, or to be near them when they were sick so they wouldn't be lonley.
Comfy LOVED to help people and never complained but secretly he wished they would come over when they wanted to play and have a good time or to tell him a funny story or something wonderfully special that happened to them. It made him a little sad that they didn't.
But Sarah was different. She loved having Comfy as a friend, ALL the time. She would sing to him and talk to him and think about the things he said. He would be with her when she went swimming and when she was at school and he was even there helping her when whe was first learning to ride her bike.
But Comfy was there when Sarah wasn't happy too. Some days she was sad. Some days she was scared. And some days she was mad. Comfy always understood and would put his arm around her when she was crying and listen to her. And somedays Sarah would just sit there talking to him with her head on his shoulder. He always made her feel better.
And Comfy was always happy that Sarah called for him. When she was worried or silly, it didn't matter to him. He loved to be around her anytime, because she made his heart happy. :o)
P.S. "Comfy" is nickname for The Comforter.

TODAY is Sunday and a day TO give THANKS TO GOD for our little Ryan. Although I have not met you in person, your TREMENDOUS fighting spirit has TOUCHED my life. I pray THAT God will heal you completely.
Since I am from TEXAS, I am going to stay here TODAY. Ryan, would you like to come visit? I will take you with me around our TREMENDOUS state. We will go fishing for TROUT and TARPIN, very big fish in the Gulf of Mexico. I will TAKE you to see the TEXAS Rangers play baseball. THEY are my favorite TEAM, even if THEY don't win many games. My son, TODD and his little son, TRES will go with us. We will eat TACOS, TAMALES, TORTILLAS, TATER TOTS, and drink some TEA. We love Mexican food in TEXAS. I know we will have a TERRIFIC TIME. Come on down!

I think today I'll head to SIBERIA. I'll pack some SNOWBALLS--those yummy cakes covered in coconut--yum!!! I hope to see SNOW and to cool off. What a hot day it is today, and Ryan, I like heat about as much as Grandpop does :)
Sweetie, Jesus gives me hope every day--in the little things and in the big things. I pray to Him because I know He loves you bunches and bunches!
Give Mommy and Daddy a hug from me, ok?

Happy SATURDAY morning, Ryan,
I hope you are waking up from a restful night and you are feeling STRONGER.
SINCE it is SATURDAY and the letter today is "S", I think I will go to the SEASHORE and take STEVEN and SARAH with me. They like to play in the SAND and SURF. Would you like to go too? We want to SWIM in the warm SURF and SUNBATHE on the beautiful SHORELINE. I will be looking for SOME SHINEY SEASHELLS to put in my collection at home, but I don't want to SEE any SHARKS!! Don't forget to put SUNTAN lotion on so you will not get SUNBURNED. It is going to be a SUPER Day!!
SMILES and (((HUGS))),

Hi Ryan! Your Aunt Laurie is something else. Did you see that she is coming to visit me on a pogo stick because I live in PA.? Well I would want you to come along too. And we would hop another half hour to the good old Horseshoe Curve and spend the day watching the trains roll by and then go to visit the Railroad Museum in Altoona. Does that sound fun? But how would we all fit on the pogo stick?
Lots of hugs to you! God is with you!

Dear Ryan,
I am so glad that your mouth is better and that your liver is doing better, too. (That's what it means when the bilirubin starts to drop.) There are so many places to go that begin with the letter N! There are all the places that begin with NEW (like NEW ZEALAND, NEW MEXICO, and NEW YORK) or NORTH (like NORTH KOREA and NORTH DAKOTA), but (and this is true!) I have a NEPHEW who graduated from college yesterday and is going to spend a year in NIGERIA! If I were to go with him I would take some NURSES with sterile NEEDLES, but you don't need to worry--he's only packing his clarinet to play lots of NOTES with NATIVE musicians. Lots of love, Dr. T

Dear Ryan,
It's late and I realized I didn't sign your guestbook yet today. I will go to MICHIGAN to hunt for MORELS (a yummy kind of wild MUSHROOM that grows there.) I will take some MARSHMALLOWS to toast over a campfire. Actually I like the chocolate part of the s'mores the best, but MARSHMALLOWS with just the right amount of burnt around the edges are pretty wonderful.
I hope that you are resting without anything hurting too bad, and will start feeling better soon. Hugs to your whole family and prayers for renewed strength for all of you. Love, Dr. T
P.S. Aunt Laurie has my home email address if you need to get in touch with me over the holiday. My number is in the phone book.

Hi Ryan, It's been a while since I posted a story or a joke so this time I am posting five jokes. Don't forget to highlight the area after the joke to find the answer.
Which type of dinosaur could jump higher than a house ?
Any kind! A house can't jump!
What did dinosaurs have that no others animals ever had?
Baby dinosaurs!
How many dinosaurs can fit in an empty box ?
One. After that, the box isn't empty anymore!
How can you tell if there's a dinosaur in the refrigerator ?
The door won't close!
How do you make a dinosaur float?
Put a scoop of ice cream in a glass of root beer and add one dinosaur !

Hope you start feeling better soon. Did Robert give the aquarium he made? He is a super brother; once again, he asked to make it for you! He looked like he had a great time at Field Day. I saw Trish video taping him for you and your mom. We all had a great time! Not because we came in FIRST place or anything, but just because we went out to just have fun.

P.S. Tell Aunt Laurie that she'll be in ECUADOR at the EQUATOR. She won't find ENCHILADAS (because they're in Mexico) or ELEPHANTS there, but she will find a rain forest . Dr. A worked there for a few weeks at the end of April. She had to take a three hour canoe trip to get to the closest villages. There all the children lined up (without their parents and without crying!) to get their immunizations. Next time you come into the office, you can ask her about it.
My kids really like to look at maps; do you? Love, Dr. T

Dear Ryan,
If you were home this would be almost past your bedtime, but with the medicine you are getting, the nights and days get mixed up. E is a hard letter but here goes: I will take you to EVEREST (which will be a cinch after what you are dealing with) and take ENGLISH muffins along. When we get there, we will find many EXPLORERS. We will leave the EGGPLANTS and broiled EELS at home. Lots of love, Dr. T

OK, Mrs. King--you got me with that "E"! Tough letter :)
If I were to travel to the EQUATOR, what lands countries could I visit? What animals might I see? An ELEPHANT, an EEL, an ELK? Maybe I should pack an ENCYCLOPEDIA and an atlas, because I haven't got a clue, Ryan. How about you?
I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave over you to make all your aches and pains and the things that bother you go away, but I don't :( I'm praying for you, and I love you. You're a great kid who has taught me the true meaning of courage with the way you ask your questions, accept your answers, do what you need to--even though it's hard--and you don't complain but do smile. Ryan, I believe your courage is a gift from God, a very special thing He has given you to help you through this tough time. YOU are a gift of God--to your parents, to your brothers, and to all who have the privilege of knowing and loving you :)
Here are some hugs, kisses, and baby dribble from me & Cassie (she sure has messy kisses!!!),

I am so proud of you. I am so sorry you are feeling bad. I am praying for YOU, your Mom, and your Dad. I will not forget your brothers either.
I am going to ENGLAND today to see Queen ELIZABETH in her castle. We are going to have an EASTER EGG hunt on the EAST lawn under thr big ELM trees. I want to take you and your family with me.

Hi Ryan!
Exciting news - it's the Eagerly awaited for Friday! I think I'll go to Erie and Eat some Eggs and do some Elephant watching!
I saw your dad this morning when he brought Robert to school. I heard he's going to Clement Park with Matt - sound like fun! He was telling me earlier this week in the hospital you woke up and saw your mom there, he said you asked if she worked there now. You are too funny! I hope the days are going by quick for you. Talk to you soon!

Hi Ryan!
I danced down to the Delaware River today, and I watched from the docks for dolphin and then went diving. I took along some donuts, but I didn't eat them because I was afraid that I would sink when I dove in to the river :)
Marky played his drum at school tonight, and he did great! Cassie is crawling, and wait til you see her go. She's into everything now all the time! And Timmy is having a special night at school tomorrow with his teacher and classmates--they even get to stay there overnight! Cool, huh? Uncle Mark is playing with his new toys--a ride-on lawnmower with a trailer, a power saw, and a bunch of other power tools.
I hear you don't feel so great right now, but it's good to know that you're doing what you need to do to help yourself. Have I told you lately how BRAVE I think you are?! I love you,

Hiya Ryan!!!
I'm going to the BACKYARD, with the BABY in a BONNET, and we'll watch the BEAVER by the creek :)
I saw what I first thought was an otter, but then I thought--no way, we don't have them around here, it must be a beaver. But you know what? I don't think we should have beaver here either! It was gray, shaped like a pear, sitting up licking it's paws, had a dark nose and dark tail that was flat and narrow but then round. Cool, huh?
I hear you are sleeping, and I hope you feel better after resting.

Hi Ryan,
It's the Iversen family from Chilliwack, British Columbia Canada writing a little note to say hello! The weather is still pretty cold up here where we live and even though the snow is all gone and we have some pretty spring flowers the kids are still wearing their winter coats to go to school in the morning! We had an exciting visitor in our neighbor's back yard last week....a bear! What a surprise that was! I guess it was just looking for some garbage or food to snack on! Our yard has a fence all the way around so we don't get any bears in our yard thank goodness!!!!
Hope you will have a good week, we are keeping you in our prayers and sending happy thoughts your way!!!

Hi Lisa and Ryan! I just got finished reading Laurie's Mother's Day update - boy, is she good! Ryan, the poem you picked for you mom is terrific, she is one lucky mom to have you as a son! It sounds like you have some long weeks ahead. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I would like to come visit you. We'll have to work out a day! What can we do in the the mean time to help the days go faster? humm.... I played a game in class this week the kids seemed to really like. I have an idea to make a fun game for you and anyone else who reads your guestbook. Each day I'll pick a letter of the alphabet and make up a place to take a trip, something to take and something I'd would like to see there that all start with that letter. I'll start with "a" for Monday, May 13. "I'm going on a trip to Albuquerque and I'l taking some apples. I'd like to see some antelopes while I'm there." Hopefully I explained this easy enough for others to follow along. It will be fun to see the places people come up with! Take care for now and I'll write again soon!

Hi Ryan! Hope the day is good for you. My daughter and I went to New York City yesterday for the first time. It was amazing. There were taxis everywhere, we saw two policemen on horses, and the buildings were so tall they looked like they touched the sky. We even rode the elevator up to the top of the Empire State Building, I think you would like that. You are in my thoughts everyday even if you don't know me. God bless and keep smiling.

Hi Ryan,
It's the Iversen family from Canada writing to say hello! We were sure happy to see that you had a great Easter egg hunt! We had a lot of treats here too, I think everybody is tired of chocolate now! Finally the snow has melted up here and we are having a beautiful sunny day! My 11 year old son is getting excited about his upcoming scout camp. I see that you are in Cub Scouts, isn't it a great program! Mark loved doing the Cub Car races (I think you call it a Pinewood derby down in the states), he missed doing that this year, but hopes to make one of the big rigs for next year's races with the scouts.
Hope you are having a great week!

Hi Ryan. Sounds like you had a wonderful Easter. I sure am glad that your family was able to be together that day. Just wanted you to know that I think about you each and every day. You are always in my thoughts and in my prayers. You are the bravest person I know. I will be walking at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on May 31 and June 1st. Many of the Kindergarten teachers, teaching assistants and Dr. Snyder will be walkiing with me. It is a cause very near and dear to my heart. We will all be walking and thinking of you. Have a great day.

Hey Ryan,
I'm sorry you got all the way to hospital and then had to go back home...it's very hard to get ready for chemo and then have to wait. But, it's very, very important for you to be as healthy as can be before you start because you need your body to work really hard during chemo and it can't do that very well if it's trying to do other stuff.
O.K. here's the next riddle to trick your friends with...
Ask them to spell "folk"
Then ask what the white part of the egg is called.
Most of the time they'll say "Yolk", but of course that's the YELLOW part of the egg!
If you do all three parts of the riddle at the same time, it's lots and lots of fun!
Have a good nights rest and have sweet dreams!
Big Hugs,
Miss Kristen

Hi Ryan!
Guess what? Your friend Tom sent me the secret to hiding the punchline! Wasn't that nice? Now I just have to think of a good riddle to send you!
Have you had fun with the Spot/Stop joke? Here's another one that you can trick your friends and family with:
Ask them to spell "most"
Ask them to spell "coast"
Ask them to spell "post"
Then ask "What do you put in a toaster?"
Most of the time they will say "toast", but of course, toast is what comes out of the toaster! You put bread, or bagels or pastry IN the toaster!
I hope you have a good week in the hospital. I know it's a bummer being in there, but it's important to stay there so you can remain healthy. My dad is getting out later this week...he's been in for over 1 month, but guess what... He's getting better! You can too.
Big hugs!

Hi Ryan!
I just stopped by to see how you were doing! I love reading Tom's jokes and am just plain stumped about how he hides his punch lines...hmmmm
You are a really brave guy. I know this is really tough, but you have so many wonderful people in your family to help you that I'm betting you'll be well very, very soon!
Here's something fun that you can stump your family and friends with...
You ask them to tell you "How do you spell SPOT?"
They spell "S P O T"
Then quickly ask them "What do you do at a green light"
MOST of the time they will say "stop"! Of course, you GO at a green light. :)
Take care!

Hi Ryan,
I don't have a joke today but I do have a story. I hope you like stories, especially this one.
One night, a man was driving along an old dirt road, when he ran out of gas. The man walked to the nearest farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could get some gas. Just then, it started to rain. It was a quick storm and it was really pouring down.
The farmer said that he should stay the night and the man agreed, because he was too tired to go and get the gas.
The farmer told him that there was a monster in the barn and whatever he did, DON'T TOUCH THE MONSTER!"
The man said 'OK' and went to the guest room. But he couldn't sleep, thinking about what the farmer had said about there being a monster in the barn. The man was too curious. Soon he got up and went down to the barn to see for himself if there was a monster.
He could not believe it! Sure enough, there was a big, hairy, ugly monster sleeping in the barn.
The man thought that he would like to see if he could wake up the monster and picked up a rock and threw it at the monster. This woke up the monster, who just opened up his eyes and looked at the man. Then the man started making faces at the monster and the monster just looked at him.
The monster just sat there looking at the man no matter what he did. Finally the man wanted to see what would happen if he touched the monster, so he did.
As soon as the man touched the monster, the monster jumped up and scared the man so much that he started running. The monster took off after him after a few seconds.
The monster chased the man all over the countryside. No matter how much the man ran, the monster continued to chase him. Finally the man reached a cliff and didn't know what to do. He was scared and just curled up into a little ball on the ground and waited for the monster. He was hoping that if he was still, the monster might not see him.
But the monster did see him and came right up to the man and stood over top of him.
Then the monster reached down and touched the man and said . . .
(Highlight area below for what the monster said . . . )
"You're it !"

Hi Cutie! I'm glad to hear you are feeling a little better now. We really do have to pick a day for me to come visit you at lunch. Tell your mom to let me know. How did you like the top hat Robert made for you? Did he tell you who wore a hat like that and what he used it for? (Hint - today was this president's birthday.) Robert thinks about you all the time when he does things he really likes. He always asks if he can make an extra one for you! You are very lucky to have him for a younger brother. Well, take care and I hope to see you soon!

It's hard when you're clear across the country. I'm glad we were provided a way. I'm standing proud tonight and had to come over to your website to see your smiling face. Off to go scrapbook......

Uncle Mark says hi, Cassie is squealing hello, and the boys will put a message here later. We have more and more unpacking to do. Hey, when are you going to get Mommy and Daddy to bring you over so we can check out the creek and woods (I still haven't been back there!) and build a fire in our fireplace? Hope to see you soon.

Happy New Year Ryan,
I hope you are feeling better soon. Is is snowing where you live? I heard it was snowing up North. It is still pretty sunny here in Florida.
Here is a funny story that I found for you. I hope you enjoy it . . .
There's a guy with a Doberman Pinscher and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman Pinscher says to the guy with a Chihuahua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."
The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."
The guy with the Doberman Pinscher says, "Just follow my lead".
They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman Pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in. A guy at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed." The guy with the Doberman Pinscher says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The guy at the door says, "A Doberman Pinscher?" He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're very good." The guy at the door says, "Come on in."
The guy with the Chihuahua figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in. The guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed." The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The guy at the door says, "A Chihuahua?" The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?"
Take Care,

It's Aunt Laurie again! We sure would love to hear what you have to say about your trip to Disney. Would you ask Mommy to help you and Matt and Robert to type up what some of your favorite things were and what some of your special memories of the trip are? Lots and lots of people are asking and would love to hear from you instead of me :) They all know I talk too much and are getting tired of my voice!
Love ya honey!

Hi Ryan! I know Mommy will try to get you to a computer while you're in the hospital, so I wanted to send you a note there :) Gram and Grandpop came by last night, and Gram said you picked out Baby Eeyore for Cassie. Cassie LOVES her Baby Eeyore! Marky and Timmy want to come visit you, but I'm not sure they can because Marky sure is coughing a lot this morning. But we'll see you just as soon as we can, ok? I hear you went to school yesterday and wanted to go back today. What a bummer that you had to go to the hospital instead of school, but you know what? We all just want you to get better, to kick this sickness's butt!!, so put up with the docs and nurses just a little longer, and we'll see you head back to school every day again! I love you bunches and bunches and bunches!!!

I'm glad you got to see Mickey and the gang at Disney World! My favorite ride was It's A
Small World too. I haven't had a chance to talk to Robert to see what his favorite ride was.
Take care and stop and see us again soon!

Hi Ryan,
When you are at Disney, I'd like you to give Goofy a message for me. When I visited Dsiney several years ago, Goofy decided to take his lunch break instead of having his picture taken with me. I am still very unhappy about this. If he gets his picture taken with you then I will forgive him. If he doesn't then tell him Pluto will be my new favorite.

Keep the sweet smile going strong there solider! Maybe someone can sneak you in some REAL Thanksgiving dinner or a slice of pie or something. Haha!
I want you to know that I think about you a lot and pray for you even more. Listen, when I sit down at my table with my family on Thanksgiving, I'll say a special prayer for you Ryan, o.k?
You're a pretty cool kid Ryan, and I sure am glad I can write you!

Dear Ryan,
There was a boy who went to school on the first day and said his name was Buddich. His teacher didn't believe him so she sent him to the principal's office. The next day he got suspended from school for a day. When he was at home he got run over by a truck. Then the truck driver stopped and his mother came out and said, "My Buddich!" Then the truck driver said, "If your butt itches, then itch it!"

Hi Ryan,
Here is a riddle for you . . .
He has a look of awful scorn,
And wears his clothes a funny way,
Waving his hands over fields of corn,
He keeps the birds away!
Do you know what it is?
(Answer below, but first, here's a joke for you . . .
What do you call a gorilla wearing ear-muffs?
Anything you like, he can't hear you
I hope you are feeling better really soon Ryan.
Here is the answer to the riddle.
It's a SCARECROW!
