Rest in peace my friend Jeff O Aurora, Ontario Canada - Tuesday, March 1, 2022 8:23 AM CST I love you...I'm back close to u for now so that makes me feel better ,knowing I can make your little cemetery garden nice again. We are staying safe Chris, we r hunkered down against a deadly 🦠 virus known as covid19 , a world-wide pandemic now for almost a year!!! Love always mom ❤️ Mom <leslieandian@gmail.com> Aurora, Ontario Canada - Thursday, January 21, 2021 7:22 PM CST Christopher not a day goes by I don't have you in my heart💔 loving you always and forever.I can't believe it's 14 years. mom <leslieandian@gmail.com> Sutton , Canada - Sunday, January 13, 2019 11:06 PM CST I just want you all to know I am still reading guestbook entries....I love you all, and I am doing well...we are expecting our 3rd grandchild (my stepson and his wife) late July beginning of August 2013..... Hugs and look for me on Facebook under Leslie Gist leslie <leslieandian@gmail.com> Ontario, leslieandian@gmail.com - Monday, June 17, 2013 11:31 PM CDT I have never visited before. I came looking for personal stories on NHD; because I am awaiting a diagnosis. However, I am also a parent of a 15 yo & a 13 yo. I stayed and continued to read because of that. I am moved, touched, and terribly sad after reading your long and painful journey with your son and cancer. Yes, people still read. I would suspect it is somewhat helpful to keep posting as someone (like myself) learns about your wonderful son Christopher. (I had to laugh about your comments on his farts! As only the Mom of a teenage boy would know!) I cannot possibly imagine your pain, but may it be of some comfort that a stranger now knows about him, smiles at your comments about him, and admired how absolutely adorable he was! You and your family are in my prayers! Christine Mecutchen <dakotachasesmommie@verizon.net> Ivyland, PA USA - Saturday, June 8, 2013 9:34 PM CDT I am going through this with a very dear loved one.

Love and hug the kids in your life...let them know how special they are! Leslie (Chris`s Mom) <leslieandian@gmail.com> Lindsay, Ontario Canada - Thursday, June 14, 2012 7:51 PM CDT always remembered. Rosi <rosipullin@hotmail.com> Glasgow, Scotland - Wednesday, February 29, 2012 2:56 PM CST I just want to say what amazing people you are and brilliant parents. I have read the whole of your journals and both smiled and cried so much. Christopher sounded like the bravest young man and you the bravest mother. I am so sorry for everything that u all went through and I hope u find peace knowing that Christopher is pain free and in a much better place. From reading your journals I have been donating blood, platelets and bone marrow and will continue to for as long as my body let's me! Also have got everyone in my family and friends that can to do the same. I know we are making a difference. Christophers story is inspirational.

I did not know Chris, nor have I met any of you; but I came across your site through a friend and it really moved me. I don't know if it's because Chris and I share a birthday (always an instant connection) or if it was the honesty and reality in your posts, but your story will stick with me through life. I hope everything is continuing on decently and your family can finally stop having so many bumps in the road! I will from here on think of Chris on our birthday... After all those born on May 29th really kick butt. :) Take care, Jessica Jessica <jstillie@cogeco.ca> Burlington, ON Canada - Monday, April 11, 2011 3:02 PM CDT Always in oour thoughts and prayers.

Leslie, even if you don't update so often, it doesn't matter, as you said, there are new people coming to it all the time, and I'm sure when they read Christopher's story they will want to visit regularly. Christopher and you were such a help and inspiration to me, I know others will be inspired by his strength and your love and will power. One day I will get on to face book. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, January 14, 2009 5:19 PM CST Dearest Leslie: Each time I get on this site my heart aches for you. I don't know what it is like to lose a child the way you lost Christopher. But I do know what it is like to lose a child. I know the ache in your heart. I find it encouraging to read the entries on this site. There is no site that I know of that I can go to for my loss of Krystal. So for now I am glad you are continuing with this site. Love: Deb Deb Stevens <dstevensd@hotmail.com> Lindsay, ON CA - Wednesday, January 14, 2009 2:56 PM CST Hi Leslie, Good to see an update from you!! I got a new site for you to join. I've got a link on Devin's site. I think I sent you an email about it, but check the site, just in case. Also, heard from a new mom about a just diagnosed little boy. He just started chemo the other day and is on the same protocol, different arm..than Devin. I'm hoping we can support her the way you supported all of us. Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:59 AM CST Hi, I just read your poem on Facebook. It said everything i am going thru at this moment.

It's funny, we've never ever met, spoke to each other once on the phone, yet I feel you are a big part of my life, you came into it when I so needed someone to help me along this horrendous path that cancer takes us. I will never forget how courageously Chris fought, with you at his side every step of the way. Thank you for being there for me and for so many others. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.carinidge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, January 6, 2009 6:10 PM CST leslie sending love your way today mrs pam st. Louis, mO united States - Monday, January 5, 2009 8:54 AM CST I found your poem on Facebook in the group "Gold Ribbons for Childhood Cancer". It spoke volumes to me. I too lost my son this year at 10 years old from Burkitt's Lymphoma. Your poem helped me say to myself once again that it is okay to feel the way that I am feeling. That I am "normal" for the "situation" that I have been forced into. Thank you for your words. I hope you do not mind but I have posted them on Chase's (my sons) websight as well for the other mothers who I know need to be told that they are "normal" too. www.carepages.com/carepages/chaserdonnell Jennifer Dunn <jenniferdunn7@comcast.net> TN - Monday, January 5, 2009 8:50 AM CST Leslie, I recently came across your beautiful son's story from a link you had posted on CarePages. For some reason, I felt compelled to read your CaringBridge journal. I read every single entry this morning, and I found myself overcome with emotion. I am so sorry Chris had to leave this world, and even though you do not know me, I am thinking about you and your family and sincerely hoping that you are all doing well. Danika Baltimore, MD US - Monday, December 29, 2008 1:03 PM CST Leslie I am wishing your family a beautiful Christmas filled with thanksgiving as you celebrate the birth of Jesus. May God's love bless you throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas from the Preschool Pen Pals, too. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Thursday, December 25, 2008 10:58 AM CST Hello Leslie, Hope you can enjoy your Christmas day knowing that you helped make it special for someone else. That was very nice of you. We 'adopted' two boys this year... one was 4 years old and the other 10. It is so much fun to pick out things and anticipate the joy they will have when they open their things. Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Friday, December 19, 2008 10:25 PM CST you're right, Leslie, Christmas can't be the same for you without Christopher. But, I think it is great that you are doing something for another family. I've been going to my friend Sudie's house for Christmas for 30 plus years. and I am always so grateful that she includes me. But, sometimes I think I'd rather just stay home and take it easy. One year I took a Christmas cruise, and that was a wonderful change of pace. keep thinking I would like to do something like that again. wish there were a Christmas Camp for Old Folks where the sun is shining and the activities are mainly eating and being entertained. prayers and love from Mrs. Pam - Saturday, December 6, 2008 7:15 PM CST Hi Leslie. I see that Mrs Pam wrote that she prayed for Christopher at their church on all Saints day, so did we, Trudi and me take the Sunday school, and after we explained 'All Saints' day to the kids, we asked if there were any special people they wanted to pray for, right away Callum and Ruari said "Christopher" I think it's so nice of them always remembering him along with their other grandad and uncle Mark who all died of 'C'. Glad to hear that your sister is doing well. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla Rosi Pullin <rosipullin@hotmail.com> - Thursday, November 27, 2008 5:28 PM CST Happy Thanksgiving! www.caringbridge.org/visit/quiltsofhope www.freewebs.com/quilts-of-hope Jaime <aquiltofhope@aol.com> - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 4:25 PM CST Hi Leslie well, I did get a new computer, and Chris' page didn't transfer over. But, I sure didn't stop thinking of him and you. finally got smart and asked Rosi for the page name. I kept trying christophersstory and that obviously didn't work. I prayed for Chris on Sunday for our All Saints Day service at church. xxoo Mrs. Pam - Thursday, November 6, 2008 5:23 PM CST Hi Leslie, Just stopping by to let you know I'm thinking of you.

I went to highschool with him and I knew of him and had friends who were friends with him - in fact, I've known Britton since elementary school. I don't really know how to put into words what I want to say, but I am a new RN graduate and am working at SickKids on 8A (a place I'm sure you know very well) ... I've seen kids of all ages and their parents fighting various types of cancer ... all I can do is say how incredible these kids and teenagers are and how strong they are and how amazing the parents and families are... I can't imagine what it must be like to be a parent and have a child diagnosed with cancer or be a strong as you and the other parents are ... I applaud your strength and your ability to fight this disease, I wish you and your family the best of luck and I hope you do continue this journal - it's important - for you, for chris, for other parents and families fighting. take care, karen karen <karen_schneider_@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, September 19, 2007 0:30 AM CDT I've been reading this webpage on and off for a while, while chris was still fighting.

It still feels as if you left us just yesterday...still very fresh in my mind and in our hearts. We've had an overabundance of beautiful butterflies this year, trying to get into the house. I didn't shoe them away, how could I? They remind me of you. I just sat and enjoyed them. I bought Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal for Andrew the other day and told him he'd have to pay 50c per bowl. LOL. I could see that impish grin of yours. You see? You never really left us. You're very much still a part of our lives. Thanks for the butterflies.

I read the message from Debbie and it brought back so many similar memories of your Chris. That smurk and twinkle will never be forgotten. It sounds like you need to find something to fill your days, winters are the worst. It won't be long until you can get back into the garden. Quite the scare with Fraser over Christmas. Hope he is watching what he eats. These alergies are pretty scary. I had a friend here in Aurora who passed away at 36 from a reaction testing the temp of her babies grape juice bottle.

Tracy Eckhardt and Christopher <teckhardt@sympatico.ca> Kitchener, ON Canada - Saturday, January 6, 2007 7:37 PM CST Hey Les,I know what you mean about Chris's passing seeming still fresh in your mind and in your heart. ...been thinking about him a lot lately...remembering something funny he did or said...will never forget the "charge" for cereal. I can still see the twinkle in his eyes when he had that mischievous look along with that devilish smirk when you just knew he was up to something.LOL. Remembering that still makes my eyes well up and my heart ache.I'm sure it's just a fraction of what you feel and my heart will start to ache for you and Fraser and the rest of Chris's family and friends.I'm glad you all made it through Christmas alright. I'm glad Fraser is feeling better...what a scare! Just wanted you to know that your family and Chris are never far from my mind or my heart.I wish peace and comfort for you in 2007. You're right.You need to keep busy. I'm sure you'll come up with some interesting hobbies to keep your mind occupied. You're great with people so maybe a part time job in a store? You'll figure it out. All the best. Hugs...Debbie Debbie McDonald <dnic@aci.on.ca> Aurora, Ont. Canada - Friday, January 5, 2007 9:11 AM CST Thinking of you tonight Leslie.

Didn't know Pam had your new address.... guess I can get it from her. I have something to send you. Glad you had a good Christmas. Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Saturday, December 30, 2006 1:43 PM CST Leslie, Just found you now through the Canadian Gardening Forum - I'm also a member. I happened to be viewing peoples' websites and found yours. First off, I want to send you my sincere condolences for the lost of your Angel, Chris. My heart broke down when I saw his picture. I cannot in a million years image what you went through. I have a 20 year old daughter and do not know what I would do if I lost her. They say woman are brave and keep it together, and you truly are a living example. I read your blog (journal)... what a journey you, Chris, and the family went through. I somewhat felt releived for Chris and you after his passing. It was a very long and painful journey for all, and in the end, while we want to keep them forever, we don't want to see them suffer when we know it's going to be a loosing battle. Time has now passed - of course you will "never" forget, but I hope you find peace, and of course, joy in building your butterfly garden. Sincerely, A new found gardening friend, Aline in Ottawa Zone 5. See you on the board. Wishing you a great new year to come.

What amazing connections you've made. I have a new job now in Newmarket, and am teaching adults on Workmen's Compensation, mostly ESL ( English as a second language) There is a young man, working through the English program from ILC, much like the course Chris did and of course I am reminded of Chris regularly. I cherish the memories of the lessons taught at your home, and will never forget Chris's sense of humour and bravery.Feels good to keep in touch. Kelly Kelly Knox Aurora, Canada - Monday, November 27, 2006 6:29 PM CST Glad that you're feeling a bit better. I would imagine you will feel the pain of Chris's loss forever. How could you not? I am hoping meeting with Trish's mom will help you both...not to mention many others!!!! Thinking of you in Utah, Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Saturday, November 25, 2006 9:28 PM CST Leslie, loved reading your update. It really gave me a warmth all over to feel that better space that you are in right now. You have always & continue to amaze me. Reaching out is such a huge & wonderful step. The fact that you are ready for that & even anticipate that is such a good thing. News from here, my daughter (with continued guidance from above) has started her dream nursing job...peds BMT nurse at the U of Minnesota. It really brings home the fight you & Christopher shared together. Not that your journey is over, it will never be over, but it is wonderful to finally hear a little peace in your heart. The peace that I have been praying for so long for you. You are my hero! My heart smiles for you.

Don't beat yourself up about those cigarettes. You have a lot of stress right now. The lack of sleep in itself is taking its toll. I think of you and Christopher often. There is not one single day that I don't think of you. I hope things get better in the next few days. I wish I were closer and we could go do lunch or something. I could give you all kinds of other hillbilly girl tips. Amy Cleghon <jacleghon@yahoo.com> Suffolk, VA - Monday, September 18, 2006 8:18 PM CDT Oh Leslie, Come here 'till I put my arms around you and give you a big cuddle. I really wish I could, I have some tears in my eyes now, just thinking about you, you have gone through so much Lesley, no one can blame you for smoking when you're feeling down, not even Christopher.

Am so sorry that Canada is dealing with the senseless shooting at Dawson College yesterday. mrs pam - Thursday, September 14, 2006 8:10 AM CDT Well done Leslie on both counts, I know how hard it is to stop smoking, even though I have never smoked, I have friends who have and still do. Here in Scotland you can't smoke in public places anymore, and I think that's encouraging folk to quit, mind you everywhere you go you see people standing outside of buildings smoking.

Wendi <w.osborne@sympatico.ca> Aurora , ON - Wednesday, August 30, 2006 7:04 AM CDT Hi Leslie, O, I have this picture in my mind of you playing golf, a bit like me I suppose, useless, LOL. I am so happy to read that you are getting out and doing all these things, I'm sure that's just what Christopher would want for you. I bet he had a few laughs at your golf playing too. Love and prayers from Scotland, Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla rosi <rosipullin@hotmail.com> glasgow, scotland - Monday, August 28, 2006 7:16 PM CDT God bless you. My heart goes out to you for what you, your family, and dear son went through. I lost my wonderful Mother to non hodgkins lymphoma in November 2004. She loved life and put up a hell of a fight. I try to focus on my wonderful memories of her, but it is hard to get the rotten memories of chemo, radiation, sickness totally out of my mind. I think we have to make our minds focus on the good memories and maybe it will eventually shut out the bad. We are both blessed to have these wonderful people in our lives for as long as we did, no matter how long they had lived, it wouldn't be long enough. Take care. Debbie <d2bvr@aol.com> - Monday, August 28, 2006 8:19 AM CDT Hey kiddo, of course you have to keep this journal going.There are still people who need it.So, you tried playing golf huh?Good for you.I'm sure Chris was looking down making a comment about the clubs being bigger than you are. LOL. Good luck on the walk...Debbie Debbie McDonald <dnic@aci.on.ca> Aurora, Ont. Canada - Monday, August 28, 2006 6:48 AM CDT I still love to check-in and see how you are doing. Seems as if the move was a great thing! Owen is doing well. He is 16 and going in grade 11. He is nearly 6' tall! You are such an inspiration to us even though we only spent a bit of time in a waiting room with you and Chris. Funny how things happen. hugs Dawn Robichaud <dawnrobi@yahoo.ca> Saint John, New Brunswick Canada - Saturday, August 26, 2006 9:14 PM CDT Hi Leslie, Sounds like you're having lots of insect visitors, I love watching all the wildlife too, but I'm not over fond of creepy crawlies, they're alright at a distance.

Love and prayers from Scotland, Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla rosi <rosipullin@hotmail.com> glasgow, scotland - Monday, July 31, 2006 2:20 AM CDT Hi Leslie, Glad you're settling in to the country life, you sound much lighter, if that makes any sense. I love it that the cow and the dogs are friends, isn't there a lesson to be learned from that? we humans could do with making friends as easily. All this war in the middle east makes me so sad, it's bad enough when someone dies through illness, people who have never done anything to hurt anyone, people like Chris and all the other kids. I am just back from Germany, I went to the place where I released Chris' balloons last year, of course I said a prayers for him, and for you and your family. I think of you all every day.

Being a hillbilly country girl I am of course giggling at your adventures with the cow ;) lol It is so good to hear you excited about the new place. Keep up the good work and if you have any city slicker questions to ask that you are embarassed to ask the farmer next door you just let me know ;) I am good at the farmer stuff ;) We think of you and Christopher often. You are never far from our thoughts. Amy Cleghon www.caringbridge.org/va/hunter <jacleghon@yahoo.com> Suffolk, VA - Thursday, July 20, 2006 7:44 PM CDT Sounds like you are adjusting well to the country life. Glad the move went well.

Wendy Henderson <henders@aci.on.ca> Aurora, - Wednesday, July 19, 2006 10:15 AM CDT Leslie That's so cute that the cow likes your dogs. I love the book "A Moose for Jessica". Have you read it?

Wish they could put more in, but how much of our lives can fit into 4 hours of time?LOL....Two wonderful things have come of Lion...It has touched the lives and hearts of many unsuspecting viewers, and it is introducing us to more and more people in our ever growing "cancer" family..which are both wonderful...Awareness and support are two things you can never have enough of...Wish you luck...Please visit our sites too. www.frankiesfight.org www.caringbridge.org/pa/frankie Monique <frankiesfight@aol.com> Phila, Pa USA - Thursday, June 29, 2006 10:23 AM CDT hi leslie praying that things are going smoother for you now. mrs pam - Wednesday, June 28, 2006 8:52 AM CDT Just thinking of you and sending love and prayers your way from Scotland, Rosi PS, is your husband watching the world cup? www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla rosi <rosipullin@hotmail.com> glasgow, scotland, - Monday, June 26, 2006 7:23 PM CDT Sorry about your sister Leslie, Call me if you want to talk.

HUGS XO :-) Chris Goyette www.caringbridge.org/canada/jessy <C1966@ROGERS.COM> Orangeville, Ontario Canada - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 8:36 AM CDT Just wanted to let you know that I continue to hold you in my thoughts especially today, Christopher's birthday. What a glorious day today - the day that Christopher was born - to bring so much joy (and of course, sadness with his passing)into your life. Just wanted to share with you also that my oldest daughter graduated from nursing school last week. She is now working (well, actually shadowing for 6 weeks) on a young adult bone marrow transplant floor. She called last night to tell me that she has a patient name Christopher that has really touched her life as I am sure she has his. He is turning 21 today & his parents had brought in beer to celebrate. I could not believe the coincidences between the two Christophers. I will be praying for two newly turned 21 Christophers & their families today. I have not been called yet but continue to hope that someday I can donate bone marrow in Christopher's honor.

Your words go through my heart and hit me hard...you are living my worst fear. I cannot fathom what you are going through (though I have a pretty good idea) but please know that my heart goes out to you. I will add you and your family to our daily prayer list that God will fill your heart with the peace you so desperately need and continued courage to carry on. I can hear your broken heart in your words...feel it. My son, Christian, is still battling the cancer beast. He was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumor (on his kidney). I stubled across your site from a fellow Wilms Warrior, Jessy. Your son was an amazing person...you should be proud. He has inspired me to carry on...I will draw my strength from his.

This is just a journey, and all I've said since my Joseph got sick is, I hope and pray there is a better place for us as this is a very painful journey to endure. www.caringbridge.org/canada/joey/ Theresa <theresa.caruana@bell.ca> Georgetown, - Monday, April 17, 2006 6:26 AM CDT Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Saturday, April 15, 2006 11:36 PM CDT http://www.GlitterMaker.com/ - Glitter Graphics mrs pam - Saturday, April 15, 2006 8:29 AM CDT Hi Leslie Just thinking about...I am not going to ask how you are doing as I already know...

Chris for beging so brave and never complaining about a thing, and you for supporting him and crusading so tirelessly for the "beast" that threatens so many people thses days.

Ok here. I'll try to call this week, Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Sunday, January 29, 2006 9:40 PM CST Hi Leslie, It's so sad about Buster and Casey, dogs are such wonderful companions. Love and prayers from Scotland, Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla rosi <rospullin@hotmail.com> glasgow, Scotland - Sunday, January 29, 2006 8:13 PM CST Leslie, So sorry about Buster. I'm sure Casey was up there to greet him. He was a very good dog and very friendly. We worked so damn hard to keep that insulin under control....and WE DID...........damn cancer took him away. The tumor that was attached to his spleen pulled loose causing the internal bleeding....it seemed pretty quick. Just a couple hours prior he was up and around. Life is too short....even for our sweet pups. Lets hope February is better than January. Its getting a little deep to wade over here. Hugs to you, Alisa Devin's site <tiredofcancer@yahoo.com> - Sunday, January 29, 2006 0:14 AM CST Hi Leslie I am so sorry about Buster. It is amazing how these animals get so much into your heart, we have a dog Tyke that we got last January for Cassie and he has helped me so much with losing Cassie. It is amazing how attached you get. Take care. Lorina forever Cassie's Mom Lorina Boucher <lorina_boucher_@msn.com> Owen Sound, Ontario Canada - Saturday, January 28, 2006 10:19 AM CST So sorry about Buster. Dog do become a member of the family & I feel so bad for you. When it rains it pours. Enough. You need a little sunshine to dry things out for awhile. Patty <Pattyvh151@aol.com> St. Paul, MN - Saturday, January 28, 2006 8:56 AM CST Lesley, what a shame about Buster, but as you said, a young dog should be running around and not in pain. I know how hard it is when you lose a pet, and I'm not comparing it to losing a child or any human, but again, as you said, they do get into your hearts and they give you unconditional love. Devin's dog Casey died too.

Our child is doing fine, next MRI in April. Anyway, I found your last post funny... I too am nurse caregiver and servant to a husband with a broken ankle. Our caregiving is never done !!!!!! Walking cast today, but he still can't walk for 3 weeks. I'm planning on a ceremonial Lazy Boy Recliner torching in the spring. Dillon recovered from Rad and Chemo in that chair, now his Dad is recouping. It's gnarly, nasty and certainly an eyesore !!!! Just thought it funny!

But just wanted to tell you that not a day went by, especially over the holidays, that I didn't think of you & your family & pray for your strength. No it's not bad that you didn't have a break down on the 10 month anniversary. Something wonderful is happening. Some of the hurt & sadness & pain in your heart moves to the side & makes a larger spot in your heart for wonderful, fun, make you smile memories of your beautiful son, Christopher. Smiling at a memory keeps him alive just as a tear for a memory does. It is the peace in your heart that I have been praying for every single day for you. I am glad that you have finally found a little tiny bit of it.I hoope it continues to grow. Also so glad you have been able to make contact with the donor. I wait patiently to be called for a donation, a match gladly given in Christoher's honor. If & when I am called, you, Leslie, will be the first to know . . . . even before my family! God Bless!

I want to wish you A Happy New Year, but it seems inappropriate when you don't have Chris with you. Love and prayers from Scotland, Rosi www.caringbridge.org/hi/kayla rosi <rospullin@hotmail.com> Glasgow, Scotland - Saturday, December 31, 2005 9:39 PM CST Leslie, It's ok.Chris knows, as we all do, that you don't miss him any less but as you said, you are beginning to move on one baby step at a time. Maybe this just means that you are finally beginning the healing process. It's been a long time coming, but no one can tell you how or when to begin healing.It has to be your decision, whether conscious or unconscious.The mind moves in mysterious ways as you know.You didn't think of the anniversary this month but you might next month and that's ok too.Any way you can get through this is a good thing. No need to feel the least bit guilty.Don't make me come over and smack you LOL. Hugs,Debbie Debbie Nichol/McDonald <dnic@aci.on.ca> Aurora, Ont. Canada - Saturday, December 31, 2005 1:33 PM CST Leslie, I think Chris would be happy that you are not crying all of the time.

Lots of Love Trudi Trudi <Trudimillar@hotmail.com> Glasgow, Scotland - Saturday, December 24, 2005 6:33 PM CST With Much Love Shannon, Jim & Our Little Elf <humphity@gmail.com> Always Remembering *Christopher* - Saturday, December 24, 2005 7:48 AM CST Yes, Les, it will be a very strange Christmas this year without Chris...for a lot of people.It still doesn't seem real.He's not here in flesh but you know he's always with you, watching over you and Fraser.Knowing him as I did, and knowing how unselfish he was, even when he was so ill, I believe he'd want you to do something for Christmas...maybe not the big deal you always have done, but just something.If not for your sake, then how about for Fraser?He might tell you not to bother but I don't buy that for a minute.Take comfort knowing that Fraser is still with you.He loved his brother too and I'm sure he's feeling a great loss this Christmas as well.He needs you.You need each other, especially now.The decision is entirely up to you but as I said, I don't belive Chris would want you to blow off Christmas all together.You mentioned a roastie beastie...sounds pretty good.Anyway,you know I'm here if you need me and so are other friends.Love ya, kiddo...Debbie Debbie Nichol <dnic@aci.on.ca> Aurora, Ont.
