Such a difficult day today.... saying good-bye to Ryan who's time on earth was so short. It was a sobering day but also a day filled with good friends.
They handed out Irises to us all to put on Baby Ryan's coffin. It was a very sweet tribute to his life
It meant so much to me to be able to get to Fairbanks to be there for my sister Laura. Having gone through it myself it was difficult to see my littler sister going through such a difficult time but I felt like I was able to help even if just a little. She has a long road ahead of her getting through this grief. After the service at the grave side people brought food and gathered at Laura and Katie's house.
A smaller group of their closer friends stayed until past midnight laughing and supporting Laura and Katie. These girls had me laughing at times so hard that my cheeks hurt. At this time of the year it is light all night long so I had no idea that it had gotten so late.
These two cracked us up reenacting a photo taken of Katie when she was little.
