“How do I even see the words. I have prayed for you for 27 years, and we see each other finally. I trust that God has a plan for everything, but I don’t think I will ever understand why this happened. I’m so sorry I couldn’t get you, and I hope you know how hard I tried,” Madison wrote. “Everyone knows how talented, dedicated, and passionate you are about the game of football. who is lucky enough to know your heart is even bigger than your personality and your weight is larger than life. Nothing is ever about you, it’s always about others. Many times, I hear you say that “there are a lot of good people in the world,” and that statement alone shows what kind of person you are. Always looking for the good ones.”

“I can’t thank you enough for loving me the way you did. In such a short time, you showed me the love I had prayed for all my life. He loves me deeply and unapologetically. We are planning our future. We are just getting started. I’m sure some think we’re crazy for feeling the way we do about ourselves in such a short time. I thought we were crazy at first too. But it helped me understand that when two souls connect in our own way, love has no set time,” Madison said.
He added, “Words cannot express how much I miss you. I hope you know how much I love you. About myself, your amazing family, your friends, your colleagues, your students, and countless others. I don’t know how I will ever get over this. But you are very honored to love him and be loved by him. It changed my life, and I am forever grateful for the time we had. No amount of time will ever be enough. I love you, Ryan. Please take care of us. I can’t wait to see you again. “
