A year has passed. All of this still seems surreal and I still wait for you to come home to visit from college. I love you, Christian. This world is empty without you here with us. You left far too soon, son. My heart aches everyday.

I attended basic training with Christian. I'll always remember his as someone who made a positive impact on anyone he interacted with. Very sad to hear about his passing. He will be missed.
