MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL,
As I read the obits today I saw this little angel's picture and wondered why GOD needed this sweet angel.
It is not for us to know why but as for Ryder he will not know the turmoil of the world in which he was born,, he will only know what it is to live in HEAVEN.
For the parent's,, my heart feels your pain and the struggle you are going through. GOD see all and will get you through this horrible time.
Even when we question GOD's work he understands and when we are angry with GOD he understands that too...
Please don't be hard on yourself,,, you did everything right.. GOD JUST NEEDED AN ANGEL AND RYDER COULD DO THE JOB.
UNTIL YOU MEET YOUR SWEET BABY AGAIN,, LOVE EACH OTHER,
A stranger that cares,
me
