My beloved son..............I miss your voice, your laughter, your beautiful smiling face and your hugs!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could turn back the clock and change the events that took your life at such a young age. Remember our trip to OBX and cooking burgers outside on the grill? I miss you so much! You are with me everyday and every night 24/7. Love you forever and ever, Mommy
You and Laren only came over very little. My sisters remember it fine, but i don't. I was only a baby then. Then, you stop coming over. And i do understand why. But, that caused me to have very few memories of you. The only memories i have from when i was younger was when we went to disney world one time. You held my hand tight and carried me around. But it was a funny sight because i was so small and you were very tall. I wish i could go back in time to that very moment and re-live it 100,000,000 times, just to be there with you.
Every morning i wake up to see that picture hanging up on my wall. and i look at it for a long while before i'll even think of leaving it. i always have a copy of that picture with me so i feel even closer to you. And then, every night i'll get ready to go to bed and i'll talk to the picture. talk to you. i pray that the lord will treat you right and watch over you and love you as we all did. and i'll talk to you about everything. you guide me through my hard times, and help me fly during my good times. you are the wind under my wings that help me fly up closer to you.
~You are always in my heart and mind
~And my soul is always where you are. i love you
Alaina Schupp- Proud To Say, You Are My Only Brother :) <3
You walk beside me Every Day.
The days are long without you here, I've sat and cried a thousand tears,
that cruel fate did my life destroy and take away my lovely boy.
But you can wipe my tears away, you walk beside me every day.
The looming years that, more or less, just fill me with unhappiness,
are speckled with some happy times, when rainbows brighten up the skies.
I know you're never far away, you walk beside me every day.
There will be anniversaries and celebrations that you'll miss,
Oh, Christopher, how we'll miss you then, your hearty laugh, your cheeky grin.
But you'll be there, you'll find a way, you walk beside us every day.
Sometimes I dream that I'm awake and find it's all a big mistake,
that you are here, you're safe and well! With hugs and smiles and tales to tell!
And in my mind I hear you say, "I walk beside you, every day."
The road ahead is hard and steep, with hills to climb and furrows deep,
and life will never be as good as when you, here beside us, stood.
But we believe that here you stay, you walk beside us every day.
At night you gently touch my cheek and memories are mine to keep,
of my sweet son, so deeply missed, since that first day your head I kissed.
Inside my heart forever stay and walk beside every day.
My Christopher
I drove away that morning, without a backward glance,
I didn't know that moment was going to be our last.
The last time I would hold you or see your lovely face,
the last time I would kiss you and feel your strong embrace.
So solid and so real, so vibrant and alive,
a happy face with twinkling eyes, my fine young man, my child.
My first-born son, my Christopher, the apple of my eye,
so cruelly taken from me, I never said goodbye.
The shattered remnant of my heart is strangely beating still,
with holes so black and fathomless no light could ever fill.
I don't know how I face each day without my darling boy.
Gone is all the happiness, the love of life, the joy.
The months stretch on before me, so bleak and dark and long,
I pray you walk beside me, son, and help to keep me strong.
And when my life is over, come to me on that day,
and smile at me and hold me tight and carry me away.
The wind that whispers through the trees, the brightest star at night,
a rainbow on a dismal day, a shaft of golden light,
All these are signs you send to me, a message from above,
that even death can't break the bonds of Son and Mother Love...
