00:00Seven years ago today our world was shattered into a million pieces when
00:04Ryan Passey was tragically taken away from us. Still knowing the person who
00:09admitted to stabbing Ryan continues to live his life free, continues to cause
00:14distress and pain. As the family's friend and spokesperson for Ryan's parents
00:19Aid and Jill, I want to take this opportunity to ask for the public's help
00:23with West Midlands Police's appeal and to speak on behalf of Ryan's parents who
00:28continue living every parent's worst nightmare. These are the words about
00:33their beautiful son. The 6th of August 2017, where do we start with so many
00:40things to say? Ryan, our world has been ripped apart and our hearts have been
00:45broken. Our family and friends know how close we were to our son Ryan. It's been
00:53seven years on, living without Ryan, missing his cheeky face and just missing
00:58those days clearing up after him, mothering him, spoiling him, watching him
01:03play football which we enjoyed so much and we really miss that. When you have
01:09lost someone so close to your heart we see other families carrying on with
01:14their daily lives and no one knows the pain that we all feel inside. We try and
01:22keep busy and try to enjoy our life. That's what keeps us going as Ryan would
01:28have loved that. We'd like to thank all our family and friends who keep us going
01:34throughout this pain, always asking if we're okay which really means a lot.
01:41Hopefully there is a heaven and one day we will meet again son. We love you Ryan.
