Chris,
To watch you interact with your mother was a beautiful thing. I remember the first time I met your Mom and I said to her, "I'm Chris' other Mom".Sonya welcomed anyone who tried to help you, she was so proud of you. You've taken on great responsibilities in the face of termoil and you've made us all proud. Jon and Kobe are lucky to have such a wonderful big brother. I am praying for your great-grandmother as well as your entire family. Be strong and remember what I have told you, take all your concerns to God in prayer, he can handle it. Be Blessed.
