"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them." --John Updike  Ryan just celebrated his 19th Birthday!!!  It truly seems like yesterday that he was a sweet, smiling baby in my arms:) He is now a grown man, learning about life as an adult. He is working in a 'fire watch' position for a large contractor in Freeport, Texas. I sure miss him but know it is time for him to grow up... Since he was a baby, he has shown others a sweet, caring and sensitive spirit. He is very kind and goes out of his way for the underdogs in the world, even receiving a reward in 6th grade for his kindness and for standing up for kids in school who were constantly being teased by other not so kind students. Photos of Ryan clearly show his kind nature -- and everyone can easily recognize, simply by looking at his sweet eyes just how special he is. Thought I would share some of those precious photos with all of you. My smiling baby Ryan
