Ryan is one of the finest spirits ever sent to this earth. I say "is" because both you and I know he "is" right here watching over you every second of every day smiling. Smiling when you get mad, smiling when you think of him, crying with you when the weight is more than you can bear and sending angels named M J B & L to be his hands to help bear your unbearable burdens. One of the blessings Ryan gave you became so clear to me on Sunday as we sat in PH Meeting and I listened to your boys comments, questions and even testify of the things they know to be true and blessings they have received in life. I was listening to the best of what Ryan exemplified in your young mens voices. I then went to Primary to thank the kids for the great job they did in their primary program. I told them that they were the best teachers we could ever have that day. They taught us through their songs and words and sweet spirit's how much Heavenly Father loves us. L was in the front row laying on two chairs looking a little sad and as soon as I said they were such great teachers his little head popped straight up, his eyes got big, he put his shoulders back and with his head held high he raised his hand and questioned with amazement, "Were we really teachers?" I replied, "You were the best kind of teachers". He replied, "Why?" and then I said, "Because the songs you sang and the words you said came from your heart and you made everyone feel better and feel loved today." L then let his eyes look down to he floor and then he slowly shook his head the way we do when we learn something new and amazing and then smiling and under his breath whispered, "wow..." We love you guys so much!!...The Tanners Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359474523148760950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-17293834100521021642012-09-25T09:46:38.092-07:002012-09-25T09:46:38.092-07:00Love him.Love him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-83164727722923775322012-09-25T09:36:18.674-07:002012-09-25T09:36:18.674-07:00Well,I AM a wuss and was doing good until the last...Well,I AM a wuss and was doing good until the last sentence from Ryan...MAAAN I was going soooo good!!
