I wish I could have met the man who raised the love of my life, @JasonRitter. I would say “great job, sir” and “thank you” and “this is your granddaughter. Look, she has your eyes. She is the happiest little person because this amazing man is her dad. You must be so proud.”

He died 15 years ago, very suddenly and far too soon, of an aortic dissection. This week is Aortic Dissection Awareness Week. There’s so much to learn! Especially if it affects your family. This website has a ton of info: https://www.aorticdissectionawarenessweek.org 

There are free live workshops that I think still have some space available. Plus some of the world’s leading experts will be giving talks which you can watch at home! For free!

Since John’s passing, his widow, our baby’s Meemaw, my friend, @AmyYasbeck4real has worked tirelessly to ensure other families don’t lose someone they love in the same way. Here is a great interview with Amy: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/amy-yasbeck-john-ritter-legacy-saving-lives-134637200.html

So look at the website and reach out if you have questions! @AmyYasbeck4real helps so many people find information and resources.

(He passed 17 years ago. I mis- typed trying to get all the info out. I’m sorry Ritters!)
