Weds.

Hi Bryant :) We went to the Including Samuel film showing at the high school. Nate was there and Christine was there and I was looking at the ramp and the empty hallways and thinking how much you would have loved to be running up and down them (well us running you wheeling ...) but it brought a smile because really you are everywhere in happy thoughts for me. I did a lot of thinking yesterday and listened to Amazing Grace about 100 times, somehow it makes me think of what you are all about. I bought an MP3 player, something I bet you would have loved to be able to have to flip through all the music tunes you loved. Which you did do, on youtube :) Anyway, somehow, you are making me feel better. I am trying to be calmer and "learn to be still" to accept and continue, but I know it's gonna take time and be tough. What can I say, I do not possess your strength. I only learn through it. Something 20 years of teaching surely should have an impact on me ... so I am trying to reflect on what you taught. 20 years Bryant. You really packed a life time into 20 years. Forever thankful I am for all you give.

Cheryl, this is Grammy, I feel the same about you Bryant. Disney won't ever be the same without you. Always saying more, more, for the scariest rides. Always trying to do more and more, daring to try something more scary than before. Mom lived so much around you so she will try to move on with the hole in her heart so big, that at times, crying and pain will be too much to stop even though she is trying to keep going. Your brother and sisters and Dad will truly be helping her, as I will. That is something that you will want us all to do. We will be able to talk about you and smile and laugh and appreciate all the things that you did to create a full life for us eventually more and more, but for now, Bryant we miss you terrible and our hearts hurt not being with you. Loving you always Grammy
