About Me
- Name: Ryan
- Location: Athens, Ga, United States
Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

Good news and not so good news
and found a few grass thatched huts that just happened to serve ice cold cocktails! 
We ended up both getting tattooed in Mexico (bet a lot of people have said that). Missy walked away with a Superman logo on her shoulder and I am sporting Ryan's favorite message "some beach" on my massive bicep. ( by the way, they were spray on ) 
As always, the entertainment and food were awesome everywhere. Missy is not to concerned about the "no food or liquids" tonight or tomorrow! neither am I.
