He continued, Trista is fine.

Trista is at a place in life where she is searching a bit.

An opportunity presented itself that may help her on that quest.

With her familys support, she has taken it.

Part of that process means that she is temporarily inaccessible to us.

I really wish I could talk to you.

Ask you how youre doing?

How was your day.

Id really like to hear your voicejust for a minute, he writes, in part.

He continues, I want to know how youre doing.

I want to support and encourage and cheer you on.

I want to be there for you.

And thats ok cause I know you need this time - time to discover yourself again.

So Ill be here for you instead.

Ill be here when you get back.

One fan replies, Im not sure he realizes how much this makes it seems like shes dead.

I know you wish you were here for Mothers Day.

We wish you were too.

In her own Mothers Day post, Trista thanks Ryan for being the best parenthood partner.
