There are very few words that could fit in here. I believe Michael's come closest.
Ryan White
by Michael Jackson
Ryan White, symbol of justice
Or child of innocence, messenger of love
Where are you now, where have you gone?
Ryan White, I miss your sunny days
We carelessly frolicked in extended plays
I miss you, Ryan White
I miss your smile, innocent and bright
I miss your glory, I miss your light
Ryan White, symbol of contradiction
Child of Irony, of child of fiction?
I think of your shattered life
Of your struggle, of your strife
While ladies dance in the moonlit night
Champagne parties on chartered cruises
I see your wasted form, your ghostly sight
I feel your festering wounds, your battered bruises
Ryan White, symbol of agony and pain
Of ignorant fear gone insane
In a hysterical society
With free-floating anxiety
And feigned piety
I miss you, Ryan White You showed us how to stand and fight
In the rain you were a cloudburst of joy
The sparkle of hope in every girl and boy
In the depths of your anguished sorrow
Was the dream of another tomorrow.

RIP Ryan. You have been sooo brave and inspired Michael so much. I hope your re-union was one of a kind...
We're missing you both!
Whom the gods love die young ....goes a saying.
The only comfort for all of your family and friends who loved you so much is: We know you are in a better place - finally in reunion with Michael ...after 20 years.
I have noticed that there has been quite awhile since anyone has posted to Ryan's blog. Please take comfort that Ryan has gone to his reward. While we all have our cross to bear, his was bigger, heavier and more painful than others have had. Rest assured Ryan has gone to his reward. As his mother, you still carry your cross. Wait until you go to your reward. It cannot be put into mere words. May the Holy Trinity help you up your hill to Paradise. Ryan says it's worth it. Your friend in Christ, Victoria
