Chris, it’s been a few YEARS but seems like yesterday because I think of you so often, my tears have calmed down but only to my heart they have fallen,
now my heart is heavy carrying the load of my thoughts of you. But it’s a weight I can carry because now I have you close to my heart. My love is with you my son❤

Chris!!!!
I thought of your thanksgiving and wondering what you would have done on that day. Knowing you you probably would be talking mess about some one's food. It's almost been a year and I STILL can't calm the thought of you down,
