I light this candle on the anniversary of your passing.

I think about you often, Chris. I even hear you once in awhile. The things you would say occur to me more rapidly now... and I laugh out loud. Like you're there. I sometimes think you are...

An example comes to mind: Have you seen the Levitra ad with that guy on a green putting to a cup that's 100 feet wide? Now there's a course we can play after a few beers! And I can hear you now...
"Careful Whitey... it breaks left."
"Here... I'll get the pin for ya."
LOL!!

I'll carry you with me as long for as I can carry myself, Chris Chromium. I promise.
Love you, buddy.

-Kemper.

Whenever I am waste deep in salt water, or I when I pick up a frisbee, or a golf club, or I dive off the pool wall or go out on the boat, or put a perfect spiral on a football, I'll think of you. I know I will, because I always have. Nothing's changed. Except now I'll invite you along - so maybe you'll see through my eyes and enjoy so much everything you once did.

I love you, Chris. Always have. Always will. You were the best best friend in the world. Thank you so much for that magnificent privilege. -Kemper
