Such a beautiful remembrance of Christopher and as well a privilege that you shared your own journey and grief in this awful time. Much love Nicole. ❤️
I didn't expect to cry this afternoon, but I am absolutely falling apart reading this. I am so, so sorry for your loss, Nicole. I can't imagine what it's taken for you to write this beautiful remembrance. And I can only hope that my nephews know every second of every day how much I love them. ❤️
Death is part of life as your beautiful homage and deep felt grief signifies in this very heartfelt piece of writing testifies. I feel for you. As I am contemplating letting go of the physical fact of possibility losing my oldest and dearest soul sister to cancer
Oh Nicole, what a beautiful tribute to Christopher and also an astute acknowledgement of the tragedy and confusion and overwhelming sorrow of suicide. I'm glad there was so much natural beauty around you after you found out - sounds like those are the kinds of places that Christopher also loved. I'm so sorry for you and all your family :( xo
Auntie Nicole, I am so sorry and saddened by your loss. While I didn't know Christopher personally, I am sad and feel helpless to find any words of comfort for my grieving family, you included. Christopher was born the same year as Brooke. I can't even imagine your pain. I wish I could embrace you in my arms and hug your sadness away. Your beautiful words, Molly's poem, the Remember Him prayer and the photos are stunning tributes to your lovely nephew, Chris. No one will ever know why, or had any inkling that this could occur at this point in young Chris's life. His grandmother, my mom told me he was thriving in his new life in California. What a tragedy. For you and Kristen, may his memory be a blessing! I love you my lil' bookend.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Christopher. 💗 Sending love to you and Kristen and family.

My life
With us
Has always been
A love affair
We were the lovers
We never had
Now you
Are on a separate journey
One I cannot be
With you on
In this life
I always wanted
To be with you
Not without
We promised jokingly
What we could not predict
Nothing is forever
But
I cannot
Imagine my life
Without you
Being the same
My eyes
Will be looking for you
Around the bend
In the road ahead
As I travel alone
Looking for your hand
In mine
Like everything in my life
Letting go
Before I was ready
I have never been ready
For you to leave
This earth before me
Yet here I am
It is our lives
Our being
Through thick and thin
Keeping our faith
Now
There is only today
I cherish each moment
