The shock of a child's death in Life

My best friend Tella’s son today died. He wasn’t feeling well. Dr swore he had a stomach bug. The parents were giving him food and went to the doctor 3 different times. Ryan besides complaining of stomach pains and diarrhea but appeared fine. They gave him food or anything Ryan asked for. They put him on the brat diet. They had no idea that a bowel obstruction would take their son’s life. I never guessed at 12 years old Ryan would pass away. When they told me he passed I was in shock. I visited them the day before Ryan was playing with his toy,petting the pets and happy.

Tyler Tella’s boyfriend called me to tell me to get to the hospital. I held her while her while bf and ex-husband explained to the medical examiner the many times everything that took place. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Her ex husband Justin,bf Tyler, best friend Kevin,Kevin’s gf Pam and Justin gf Dee all lived in the house. They coparented Ryan in his short life knew what love is. Due to his autism they decided instead making a divorce messy they would focus on caring for their son. Everyone cared for him. Ryan often started nerf wars,loved video games,his parents and his dogs Fudge and Vera.

Tella cried the police she is a good mom she doesn’t know what happened. The doctors said just a day before told her keep Ryan with plenty of fluids he will be fine.

I am in shock. I am going to help them plan the funeral tomorrow. When I told the nursing staff I needed to see Ryan they asked who I was to him. I said with tears in my eyes my best friend is in there her son is dead. I need to be sure she is ok. The nurse looked at me and said family only. I looked at her and said you and what army will stop me? She heard my tone I was serious and said obviously I am the aunt. She left me in. She told them I was Tellas sister and I just lost my nephew. I thanked the woman crying. I walked in the room they said Tella said thought it was family only. I told her I am family bitch. I am Aunty Sarah come get my hug Tella!

They are doing a autopsy to figure out all the details of Ryan’s death. I held Tella while she cried. I told her in 2018 when my dad died they carried my daddy’s casket no question. I will happily carry Ryans casket to help them. I would do anything to help my best friend. I love you Tella. We will make it through this together..
