I am thinking of Ryan tonight, the anniversary of his last night. He was a hero to me. From the moment he was refused admittance to school, he has been an inspiration to me.

I am also thinking of his family.

I am also remembering all the people I have been privileged to be with on their last night.  I am still grieving.
