@whitneylynallen: Here 👇🏻 (1) The night that Ryan died I felt the need to start sleeping on what had been "his side" of our bed. His absence felt so enormous and palpable after his death-the space he should have been felt so heavy next to me. Taking up the space that he once did was less painful for me. Ever since that night, I've been sleeping on what had been "Ryan's side." (2) It took well over a year after Ryan died to dream about him. I've only had two dreams about him since October 14, 2021 (the day of his accident). Once was when he was in the hospital and the other was this year. In the dream, I saw him through the window of our old home. He was in his police uniform and he smiled up at me but I couldn't get to him. So reflective of real life 🥹💔 (3) My primary love languages changed. When Ryan was healthy and alive my primary love language was acts of service. Ryan's had always been physical touch and quality time. After Ryan died, my primary love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. Most likely because I missed those so much when Ryan was sick. (4) In our old house, I would hear Ryan's foot steps in his work boots at night like he was coming up the stairs. The sound of those boots on our steps were so unique, almost unmistakable. I like to think that was him reminding me that he is always around protecting us.
