Warm Thoughts...

Yesterday as I was scrolling thru my twitter feed, I noticed Alissa's photo of a sweet 3 1/2 year old little boy Ryan, son to Jacqui of Baby Boy Bakery, who was killed in a tragic accident Friday evening.  A little boy's life taken to soon while he was playing.  This story shook me to my core. My heart broke immediately for Jacqui and her family.  I could not even imagine what they are going thru.    As I scroll thru my instagram feed, this adorable young boy's face seemed to be ever present, a little boy's life that was taken to soon.  There are only tears.

 

In our little blogland here, we support each other as a community.  Cheer with others in the good and stand by one another in the bad.  While no one can take the pain, hurt and sadness away, we can support the family.  Here is what you can do to help show your love and support:

+ Send your love to the family on social media by using the hashtag #RedBalloonsForRyan. Last time I checked there were close to 17,000 posts which is such a testament to how strong this online community is. Also be sure to tag Jacqui, @babyboybakery and Dan, @danno12

+ Donate money to the family which can be used for funeral costs and other expenses here.

+ Purchase Ryan's Necklace from Lisa Leonard to show support - $5 from each necklace goes directly to the family.

+ Last, please keep the family in your thoughts, prayers and heart during this time... anything that could bring them an ounce of peace in this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Ryan Cruz Saldana 5.2.2014
