Ryan, wherever you are, your mother, Jeanne and your family loves you.  Those who read this blog understand what happened and we care.  We have lost loved ones and ourselves, but we know the love that perseveres. In honor of you and your lovely mom Jeanne, Dadonfire publishes this exquisite letter.  Jeanne is expressing a loss of the color in her life that you gave her.  Ryan,  allow me say; Jeanne, color and joy are here for you.  Without a shadow of doubt, Ryan wants this for you.  We can transform our losses to love.  We honor those in our lives that embody that  by being the joy they want for us.
