Well, shit, when he puts it like that, he’s not trying to buyto make sure we’re taken care of But what he doesn’t understand is that when Ian died, I didn’t care that I had no money or a house or a new car…

The days following are spentas many memories as possible Every picture I take, I print and add to his photo albu I text Ryan with a different excuse to co, or ill happen once he does We just simply enjoy each other and our son
Unfortunately, like anything good in life, it all eventually has to come to an end And that’s proven the day after New Year’s, when I wake up and realize Ryan leaves in twenty-four hours
