#redballoonsforryan

I post this today with a heavy heart...while scrolling my Instagram feed in the morning, as I always do, I noticed a few people that I follow were posting pictures of a gorgeous little boy with the most amazing curly red hair and #redballoonsforryan. As I looked into it, wondering what it was all about, I found the story of Ryan and his parents (Jacqui and Dan)...and my heart broke into a million pieces. 

You can read the story here.

Although I did not know this family, we all know how the blogging world helps you connect with those miles away and creates a community of support. And as Jacqui's friend posted...

They need our support.
They need us to rally
They needs us to pray
to share
to love
to remember…
….. Ryan.

A simple request to support...to pray...and to not let this red-headed angel be forgotten.

It hits home because it is a reminder that nothing is certain or forever ...and we need to cherish the precious moments we have with the ones we love ...and always take the time to hug a little tighter and say "I love you" one extra time. xx
