It was at a golf outing back in 2008 where I met Ed Herman. He had won the model ford engine that I had my heart set on. Well after Ed won my dad had gone over and offered Ed $20 for it, mentioning " my daughter wants that so bad, will $20 be enough?" Ed being the awesome man he is walked over and have it to me and as he handed it to me he said, my son is also a huge Ford fan. We all sat down to the dinner together and got to talking. Well long story short the next day August 8, 2008 Ed drove Ryan over to my house where I got to give Ryan a ride in my 1931 Model A Ford pickup truck. Now mind you I was 15 with my temps and driving him by myself. That was the most nerve racking ride I have given and will ever give. After the drive Ryan and his dad and I talked a bit in the driveway, Ryan and I getting to know each other. Ryan and I exchanged numbers and that night it was official with a 5 hour conversation. We were boyfriend and girl friend!!! We were inseparable, every minute I could be with him I was there. We worked on his first dirt bike together. I was there when he got all those tickets and we walked it home from the park together. He let me ride it. And still to this day I still can see him cheering me on as I sped thru the gears down the road he lived on. I painted the teeth on his plow he mounted to the lawn mower. The late nights I spent at his house watching tv in the den. Making fun of him for playing etch e sketch on auto cad. But the one thing I miss the most is walking down the road to the lake and chilling in our "spot" he would wrap his arm around me and whisper in my ear that I was his perfect angel. We loved each other thru the thick and thin. And I owe his dad so much for bailing me out with my dad when I got a speeding ticket trying to race Ryan back home after his curfew. Ryan and I had our ups and downs but we always loved each other. We had our falling out a few years ago when he got involved with my sister. Being the child I was I didn't want to forgive him, but Ryan being Ryan kept his promise and supported me and drove his huge ass red truck to downtown milwaukee a few summers ago to visit me. He begged for forgiveness and I said I couldn't but before he left I gave him a hug and kiss like I had always done when I saw him and he drove away. Besides a few texts and Facebook messages that was the last time I heard his voice and touched him. I kick myself in the ass for not making more time for him. I want him back to talk with him and make it alright again. I miss him like krazie and think about all the fun times we had together and how much he taught me! He will always be my GT500 KR for KendallRyan... As he always knew! I can keep talking about Ryan and still have so much to share but I think you get my point.. I miss him and still love him and he will ways have a very special place in my heart and soul!! I love you baby!
