We lost our son Christopher to a self inflicted gun shot wound on August 12 2009. Our lives are forever changed by Chris' decision. He was a wonderful, compassionate, funny person and he touched so many lives. There just aren't enough words to express how much he will be missed and how much he is loved.
24 Today
Well Chris, you would've been 24 today so I'm grilling your favorite chicken for dinner. I've been thinking about how you always came to me when you were feeling really down and we always talked until you felt better. I was always there for you I never gave up on you. It's so disheartening that you gave up on yourself and on us. I miss you so much. I had a dream about you and Ryan last night, you were little and we were at the house on Lincoln. I think about that hill behind the house and how much time we spent up there and sometimes I just want to go sit on that rock we called table rock and try to feel your presence. Maybe in the spring when all the flowers bloom. Remember all the bouquets of wildflowers you boys would pick for me? I love you.
Always with us.
Sunday Tisha shot an elk! It was just a mile down the road from where you got your last elk. She told me afterward that she was wearing Grandpa Pete's boots, Ryans shirt, your coat and ring and she was shooting your 270. So it was like your were all with her. I felt like you were around too:) I love ya:)
Stressed
I wish you were actually here for me to talk to! I dont seem to have anyone anymore! My life is quite ridiculous and I am so freakin stressed that I fell sick all of the time. I envy that you were able to take your life into your own hands. I
wish you would have done it in another way but you were so brave to do what you thought was right. to be in control and take charge. Dying is not what I want but i wish i could be brave like you were and take back control. I feel as though my world is coming unwound. That i am drowning and no one can save me but ME and i just cant seem to decipher which way is up. I am so tired my headaches all the time. How do i take control? How do I save myself from the extreme pain and stress I have been feeling? I wish you were here, I would love to hear the advice you would have given me! I love you
Blah
This time of year never gets any easier! And I sapose that it never will. I was listening to music yeaterday and it made me think about the time we drove out to the gravel pits. That was the night that I got ina fist fight with that one chick for talking crap to you! It made me so proud that you looked up to me, and thought I was tough! Every now and then, I see someone that looks like you and I do a double take even though I know it isnt you, I still always hope that it is you! I love you!! :-)
just thinking about it put me back there. and this is what came out i love you and miss you bro think about you all the time
can you feel me.im all around you.
trying my hardest to envelope you you with a peaceful thought and the love i feel towards you
from so far away i wonder if i can effect the day to day struggle we all go threw
if only alittle its enough for me to feel better about my own lowered head
for we have all lost a loved one something no one should have to bare alone
one that should be laughing is now silent in ever lasting sleep
one that should be making me smile is instead making me weep
i hope you do not blame them but pity them instead
for they are missing out in all the new life we have created in there absence
but if we can keep on dreaming and waiting
to see them again then go out and be free
to have a story or two to tell in the end
and keep loving until tomorrow never comes
Happy Birthday
This day makes me think about birthdays in the past. How much fun we used to have and how we used to beg our parents to stay at each others houses. Usually without much luck :-) I had a dream the other night about you. We were at the trailer me, you, and ryan we were probably about 9 or 10. We were having so much fun playing video games and building a fort just like we used to when we were young. I remember I had to leave to go do something but I didnt want to. I wanted to stay so badly and you said its ok just go I will be here when you get back. In my dream I didnt know why but I didnt want to leave I started to cry finally I left to go do whatever it was that I needed to do. And when I got back you were gone. When I woke up it felt as though you had left me all over again. I miss you damnit I miss you and even though in every dream I have with you in it I hug you and cry and never want to leave I look forward to at least seeing you there.
I Love You
Walking in your memory.
This Saturday October 16th we will be walking in Chris' memory. "Out of the Darkness" suicide prevention walk will be held at Alton Baker park in Eugene Oregon at noon. Anybody who would like to walk with us in memory of Chris is welcome.
Chris! You were an awesome guy and I really enjoyed living next door to you in 8th grade. I'll never forget our BB gun wars! Jewelry class Sophomore year and English Senior year were awesome bro! You will be missed!
X Watching Over X
Where are you
Where can you be?
Now you have gone
It feels like you have left me!
Dont be silly
That could never happen!
For You are watching over
From sky's Up Above
Sending down all your love
In everything that makes me laugh
In every gentle wind that smooths my face
Yes you watch over Angel
Until we meet again
x In our own happy embrace x
Christopher, you were such a joy. I know we will be together again someday, but in the mean time the world is a lonelier place without you. I love you so much. Grandma Jump
