February 9th,
your birthday. We visited the site and put a dozen red roses in a
small basket and placed them near the marker. While we were
there, the gentleman who lives across the road came over to visit.
He remembered your accident and had very kind and reassuring words
for us. He brings water to the tree and allows us to use his outside
faucet when we need to get water. The
tree doesn’t need much water now that it is about ten feet tall.
We stayed for a while alone and each of us had private
conversations with you.
After leaving,
we followed the usual process by stopping for a bite at the Krystal, in
your honor (we know you appreciate the significance of that).
I passed out some Chris Cards at the there and during dinner we
held hands and shared some smiles and laughed out loud a couple of
remembering the fun and funny things that happened when you were
with us. Happy Birthday
Chris, 29 forever.....sw/2-16-2007
