THE SONGS ON RYAN'S IPOD



Here they all are. I've been listening to them for quite a few weeks now. It was the closest thing I could find to being in Ryan's head. Thank you, Anne, for sharing this with us all. I believe the songs he picked for his IPod were very personal and discriminate. He would choose a song or a couple songs from an album rather than downloading the entire thing. I think they were songs that spoke to him. Many were sad and hopeless, many were about good times, many were funny, some were nostalgic and romantic, and many were Irish. You can all figure it out for yourselves. For me, these songs are part of a conversation that I wish I'd had with Ryan while he was alive. It makes me cry when I think about the lost opportunity. He will always be in each of our hearts.

There will be no more songs on Ryan's IPod.

You are missed.



You are missed Ryan. The hallways of our office don't feel the same.
