Leslie Harter-Berg knows this all too well. She lost her husband, Ryan, unexpectedly to an aneurysm and stroke while on vacation with their two young sons. In the years since, her life has been turned upside down—and, in some ways, right side up. She eventually found love again and has worked to navigate grief while continuing to move forward.
But because grief isn’t linear, it finds its way into everyday life in unexpected ways. Leslie has made it a priority to preserve her late husband’s memory for their sons, Whit and Rory, who were just 1 and 3 when they lost him. One tradition she started was spending Ryan’s birthday doing the “man-child” things he loved—playing with Legos, rock climbing, and skateboarding. But after discovering a teenage bucket list among his belongings, she found an even more meaningful way to honor him.
View this post on Instagram“It’s the sweetest, quirkiest list that is so Ryan,” Leslie told TODAY.com. “The day is really all about getting them to get to know their dad. And this list just shows who he was so much.”
Honoring Ryan’s Birthday Through Experiences
What stands out most to me are the items that encourage getting out into the world. Ryan included several experiences centered around travel and exploration: going on a road trip, surfing, jet-skiing, and snowmobiling. Each one reflects a deeper message about truly experiencing life.
It’s a reminder many of us need: stop waiting. Book the trip. See how the world lives. Feel it for yourself.
And in doing so, they’re creating new memories in his honor—experiencing the world in a way that feels exactly like something Ryan would have wanted.
