Hearing the news about
Jacqui and
Dan's son, Ryan, has caused me to reflect on what is so precious and perfect in my life…My family. Our little Kate is definitely an early bird, and in true Kate fashion, she awoke before 6 am this morning. I usually huff and puff when I hear her stirring that early on her monitor, but not today. Today I rushed upstairs, took my baby girl in my arms, felt her skin against mine, twirled her curly hair in my fingers, kissed her sweet, soft cheeks, rubbed her little back, and cuddled her just as long as I could. And then I thanked God for giving me this precious angel on earth and for allowing her to brighten our every day.
I wish I could just hug Jacqui and Dan…Take away their pain and suffering. But since I can't do that, I hope they find some glimmer of light and hope in the Instagram/blogging community that loves them so very much. If you would like to offer support to this wonderful family during this tragic time, you can do so by visiting the links below. These amazing shops have created products to honor Ryan's memory, and proceeds will go directly to the family.
If you would like to read more of the story, you can do so
here. You can also make a direct donation to the family via the
Thrive Moms blog.
I will continue to pray for them every second…For peace, for comfort, for strength. And I will continue to pray for Ryan, who is dancing in Heaven in his beautiful angel wings.
Rest in Peace, sweet Ryan Cruz Saldana.

Katherine
