I wish I could wave a wand....
I wish I could give you what you want most. I wish I could bring him back. I would give much.
I know that it is hollow consolation to tell you that one day it will hurt less. I know that telling you that this isn't fair won't lessen that ache and won't put his arms back around you.
Believe in what you did have, however brief, was real and true. Hold close the memory of this morning and the others that you had. Let nothing cheapen the treasured moments.
There will never be another like him. Ryan Callahan was an individual unlike any before or after him. No one will ever take his place, but you cannot close your heart to the possibility and potential that tomorrow holds because of a sour yesterday. That is how you allow his love to die, by denying the light and brilliance of your smile to not warm the hearts of others.
It will get better. Much as when we lost Amanda and swore the ache would never lessen, one day we will be able to smile when we think of him without the tears. This I promise you.
