We are raising money for Ryan Erwin's final expenses. His cremation & all that entails, which is going to be roughly $1,500.00. His obituary & memorial cards for the service, which will be approx $400.00 & the donation needed to give to the church to hold his service, which is any dollar amount but we figure $100 should suffice.
Ryan went way way to soon... He was only 31 years old. He passed the same day his mother did five years prior, April 24, 2018. He leaves behind two children... Nirvana 5 & Grayson (approx) 8 months old. He was such a good father... so attentive. To say he adored them would be an understatement, to say the least.
My nephew, my only nephew... the first of my parents grandchildren & the only child to my sister, was a very old soul... & OMG intelligent. I used to call him the "little prodigy child"!! Ryan taught himself to play guitar by ear... "Lunar" is who he played with (check out there facebook page).
I was 12 when he was born... I was the baby all those years & then this little alien looking creature, with bird lips & E.T. length fingers came along. I thought while my sister was pregnant with him... "Ugh, there is NO WAY I'm gonna let this little urchin steel my glory"!! "I sure as heck am not going to like him... NOPE"!!
I was right... I DID NOT LIKE HIM!!! I ABSOLUTELY 100% COULDN'T HELP BUT FALL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE LITTLE CREEP!!
"Cryin' Ryan Erweenie" that was what I called him!! As I became a teenager I always babysat him for days at a time... I got married young, (at the time I got married, he was about 5 years old), he would ALWAYS wanna come stay the night with his "Aunt Geena" & "Uncle Chuck". From the age of approx 10/11 years old Ryan was with me 80% of the time... He was there for EVERY MAJOR LIFE EVENT FOR ME, as well as some weird happenings as well.
I always said that I love my nieces (I raised them too for a few years) and nephew like they were my own, I didn't give birth to them but I may as well have... the thought would linger in my back of my head "could you truly love them as much as the ones I gave birth to"?? When I found out he was gone... instant disbelief, naturally, but right then... at that moment... I learned that, Yeah... I absolutely love them as MY OWN!! I've dealt with alot of death... mom & dad, sister, grandparents, cousins my age, friends. With the exception of my dad and grandparents, they were all within the last 8 years... my moms Nov. 2016... and yeah they were all hard... all painful... but absolutely NOTHING compares to the LOSS I felt, the PAIN, the IMMEDIATE EMPTY VOID that sits between my heart and stomach that feels endless & hopeless... Anyway, nothing compares to the loss of my boy!!
