In a world that often seems mired in trivia, Ryan’s story was more than one of success. He set an example that encompassed hope, perseverance, joy, enthusiasm, and passion. I think it should be a story we remember and repeat. In a culture that offers few heroes of worth and sincerity, Ryan became the ideal that was exemplary and indelible.

I have been browsing the web reading reviews from the Audition and comments about my son. Yours really captures what he was all about. Thank you very much for this beautiful tribute.

How I wish this could be true. I guess we each have to come to our artistic callings when we are ready. Thanks for your thoughts.

I have tried to not write too many lengthy posts, but this was a story that I needed to share. I will get back to textiles now. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.

My hunch is that we all struggle with these questions most of our lives. Look how many books are written on the subject. The choices are never clean either however we choose.

I have to say it is one of the hardest things that any person can work with in life. Or maybe, for me, it is the apex and others are born able to handle it easier. That man had tremendous courage and hurray for him. He must have felt very happy at the end of the audition, looking into the future.
