Five Years!
Dear Chris,
“If tears could build a stairway
and memories build a lane
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again!”
Five years and so many tears….The pain never went away
and never will on losing you, one just learns to live with
the pain. We miss you so much Chris!
We will have a mass for Chris at 8:00AM at St. Catherine’s.
A light so bright, will never be extinguished……..
CHRIS, FOREVER LOVED
CHRIS, NEVER, EVER FORGOTTEN
Love, Mom
Absolutely never forgotten! He had such a presence that he will live on in all of us.
Much love and respect,
Michelle Marsh (Palmer)
Chris,
It’s been a long time since I’ve written on this site – so long that I wonder if people think I’ve forgotten about you.
I guess that, after a while, there isn’t much more to say, except how much I still miss you and how much I still think of you and love you.
You should know that, despite not writing on here, you are ALWAYS in my heart and ALWAYS in my mind, and I do come to this site sometime just to look at pictures and comments, even if I don’t add any of my own.
You would be proud of everyone today, Chris, and how far we’ve all come. A lot of people have kids now (most of our friends, it seems), and you would love them all so much!!!
Me, I only have 2 dogs (for now), but I live in Australia with my boyfriend, and you would really like him (and you would love Australia if you came to visit us). It would be SO amazing to hike here with you! I can just picture you running around, jumping in the ocean…enjoying the beauty here.
Recently, I had a dream about you. It was so bizarre – so vivid – like all the dreams I have about you. You were eating in a diner next to me… It would be impossible to explain the dream on here, but it was very real and very interesting, and sometimes, when I have dreams like that, I wonder if it’s really you there. I wonder if, maybe, there’s some way you are actually able to visit people in their dreams. How else could it be so real?
I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since you’ve been gone. I remember when I first got the phone call when I was living in Los Angeles. I remember every detail, every minute of it all! It seems like 5 years couldn’t possibly have gone by.
But here we are…and so much, yet so little, has changed.
I will always smile when I think of you, Chris, and January 31st of every year – no matter where in the world I am – I will always, always hold you and your family that much closer to my heart.
Zimny family, I hope you’re doing well and holding up on this very difficult day. I am sorry I’ve been out of touch for a while – I am the crappiest emailer on the planet – but I want you to know that I haven’t – and never will – forget about you.
I love you all, and Chris, man, I miss the hell outta’ you. Wish I could call you…wish I could hear you laugh…wish so many things…but will always be reminded of you on so many occasions and in so many ways.
Lots of love to you Chris, and to all of the Zimny’s.
Always,
Melissa Levin xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
