Tonight my best friend from high school gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy and as baby Rylan entered the world, I realized something truly important. Whatever our lives hold for us, love will truly pull us through. Whatever this beautiful baby boy may go through in his life, he will be loved, by his parents, by his family, by his friends, by me. He will be loved deeply and without regret, without apprehension. He will be loved and he will know what it means to love someone else.
And someday he will fall in love with someone else, and he will find out that love in this world is rare, but always there when you need it. He will find that when you find someone to share your adventures with, when you find someone to pull you through the toughest and darkest moments of your life, it's the most important and lovliest thing in the world.
Tonight Rylan Todd Evans has become a part of this beautiful world and it will be through the love that so many will have for him that he will learn to love himself. It will be because he was loved from the very first moment he entered the world that he will find comfort and strength and love on his journey.
And so Rylan Todd Evans, from your Aunt Casey, know that I will always love you, that I will always remember the day that your dad sent me that photograph of you, that I will always be there when you need that break from your parents, and when you need some advice about that girl you're falling for. I love you Rylan and you are a blessed little baby tonight, welcome to our world.
