This breaks my heart. Ryan I can see you sliding down Grandma's stairs giggling all the way. I see you outside by the water and Grandma saying don't do it but you stepped into the water anyway. I can see you jumping on the trampoline at your new big house when I came to babysit. Your Auntie Kris loves you.
