One Final Post

We are having a hard time keeping up!! I am learning that Ryan is Superman, but I am not superwomen!! I wish I could say that life was getting easier, but...

Ryan is doing really well in school. Technology is wonderful. Most of his Algebra class has been on-line; he and Scott found an on-line calculator, which has really helped too. With Excel and the calculator he has become pretty independent with the school work. He has registered for a calculus class next block; I am hoping that the course material will also be on-line so he can use the “set-up” he already has to do his homework. I think each semester there will be some adaptation in order to find what will work best for him; with any luck we can find what he needs to make life a little bit easier.

He is still experiencing pain every night. I keep hoping and praying that that is a good thing, since the doctors can’t figure out how to help him. He never complains, but it breaks my heart to see him have to go thru that almost every day.

It is difficult to express in words our feelings for each of you. We have been so blessed to have so many caring and loving people in our lives. We are so grateful for all of the kindness, compassion, love, service, monetary help, shoulders to cry on, listening ears, counsel, guidance and the list goes on and on that we have received over the last year. We could not have made it thru this trying time without each one of you. We realize that we will never be able to “pay-back” what we have received; hopefully we can “pay-forward” the kindness and generosity. We love you all, our lives will be forever better because of you.

We are grateful for our testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the knowledge that we will all be made whole when we return to live with him. We lean on Him every minute of everyday and know that He hears and answers our prayers.

We truly hope that our paths will cross often. May the Lord bless each of you in your daily lives. You can still reach Ryan at ryangriffinblog@gmail.com.

With love,

Dean, Terry and Ryan
