Today, July 17, 2010 is the 2 year anniversary of Chris' passing. I miss you, love Mom.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Oh Chris...you little bastard. Why did you have to leave? I am at least very happy that I got to see you just before... Even if I had to clean up your big pool of BBQ'd chicken barf out of my bed! hahah=)
I miss you and think of you often. You were my only meaningful childhood friend and so it rather sucks to know that I alone carry around our various stories of hilarity & adventure. If you happen to meet that frog we encountered when we were 7, please tell him I'm sorry.
Perhaps I should take the time one of these days to tell your father what REALLY happened to that broken window, eh? I still marvel at the fact that nothing else was damaged in that very impressive explosion =D
I also wish that i hadn't poisoned you with so much vodka that last night I saw you...we might've had a bit more time for reminiscing before you passed out on me; and you might have had the chance to actually fully digest all that chicken.
btw...how did you manage to die hitting a field?? seems like a pretty good landing spot to me. Perhaps you didn't have time to 'tuck & roll'(?) I wish I had the power to give you that time...we might be laughing about a dislocated shoulder or something, instead of your departure.
I will continue to remember you throughout my life, and miss you just as frequently.......
I had a great laugh the other day retelling someone of our 'knifefight' we had with the red & blue marker pens and how I accidentally turned you into an injun for a few hours ;)
see you on the flip side my old friend...
