Christopher Daniel Duvall

It has been a year since we lost our Chris. I didn't have words last year to put together, but wanted to attempt it now.

Chris was my first nephew. I picked him up from daycare every chance I could. He was, in a broad sense, my first child. My sister says I kept him in outfits for several years. I loved him as my own and worried when I got pregnant, whether I could love another child more. Of course that worry was ill founded. But he was still very precious and loved.
...

What can I say about today, that hasn't been like everyday this past year for me. I think about Chris every moment of every day. I just can't believe that it has been a year and how much it still hurts. I miss you Chris and love you with all my heart. I always will.
Forever yours,
jessica

You are our true and admirable friend. I am so grateful to have been considered a friend of Duvall's and so glad that he brought you into our...
