Chris, honey, I love you so much. I always will. I am so happy we were able to reconnect this year. You have made a lasting impact on my life. I remember everything we shared together. You have no idea how much you have helped me this year. I was in a dark place when we started talking again and you helped to bring me out of it. You impacted so many people's lives and didn't think that you did. It will take me a long time to process this, but I just hope that you are at peace. Thank you so much for loving me. As you always said to me on the phone "Love you bye". I love you, but this isn't goodbye forever. Just goodbye for now
