Because of the name of my blog, many people get to my blog by typing in "Ryan Ferguson and girlfriend"! I am NOT Ryan's girlfriend (but he has a beautiful one, I have seen her photo!) and I do not know him personally but I really am grateful that he has been released. (Note, I mailed a letter of support to Ryan last Christmas, and I treasure the post-card that I got from him in reply!) Thanks, Ryan, if you ever read this blog, just know that there are a lot of people still pulling for you. If you are ever in Georgia, get yourself over to Stone Mountain and I will climb it with you! What do you say?! (You will have so much to do and to learn now you have been released. Do NOT be overwhelmed by it all! Just remember the baby-boomers like me, we have had to deal with it, and we are not as young as you are...you can do it!!)
Now, this begs the question, if Ryan Ferguson is innocent, then someone is guilty of this crime. Let's hope that the REAL criminal will be found!
The facebook page has been changed to "FREED Ryan Ferguson"! If all of those who supported him could think of sending a few dollars his way, just think of how much of a great lift that would be...the link to do that is here.
Freedom is so precious, something that we take very much for granted.
Straight Ahead Into The Future! Good Luck, Ryan! |
That is brilliant news! I wish him a future filled with happiness.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracey. He has a lot of love and support from his family and friends so that will help him a great deal, I am sure!
DeleteLet freedom ring! All the best to him!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to him and I hope he can move forward to a good life. This will be a great Thanksgiving for him and his family.
ReplyDeleteI would wonder what a heartfelt prayer will be said at their Thanksgiving celebration, it brings tears to my eyes to think of it.
DeleteHooray. I hope adjusting is not too traumatic for him and that he can put it behind him as much as possible. Like you I also hope that the police make a real effort to fond the guilty party.
ReplyDeleteI know, you must also feel for the victim's family, to think that they now know for sure that the whoever murdered their loved one has been free all these years.
DeleteYippie! That's great news indeed! So good to hear after all the terrible news we're having these days from the Filipines, those poor, poor people.
ReplyDeleteI know, Meike, even the people who work in this kind of disaster relief have been shocked by what they have encountered. I pray for them all.
DeleteA terrible miscarriage of justice, Kay. I hope he can move forward and enjoy the rest of his life.
ReplyDeleteHe has a really positive attitude. He makes me proud to be an American, and I must admit, there are times that SOME Americans act in such a way that I can't say that!
DeleteWow, poor guy - but great news for him! I can't imagine how he must feel.
ReplyDeleteI know, Sue, but hopefully, he will be able to adjust. I pray for him and hope he knows how many people are doing so.
DeleteUnreal, Really, it's quite amazing. Thanks for helping me follow Ryan's story....
ReplyDeleteI hope to keep you up to date about his life. Poor guy, he doesn't know that I've adopted him in my mind! xx
DeleteIt is so good that this story had a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI agree, even though it took years, I am glad he is finally free.
DeleteI just saw this in the news last night and thought of you. This was such a terrible miscarriage of justice. I wonder can he now sue the justice system for the loss of 10 years of his life?
ReplyDeleteI am sure that lawyers are looking into it for him. In the meantime, someone has set up that website that I gave you and they are asking people to send money to help him out. I hope he gets LOTS of money to help him in his new life!
