Love, Hope and Strength
Chris' legacy is a strong one. It is one of love and commitment. He was always committed to showing his loved ones how much he cared for them. He delighted in doing things for others. I know he wants us to be good to each other and love each other. He would want the same for us that he experienced minus the pain. He lived everyday to the fullest. Everyday could be turned into an adventure when you were with Chris. He referred to everything in his life as a mission. (Ha-ha)
He also left behind a beautiful little girl for us all to love. Her name is Trinity Shae and she is a blonde haired blue eyed wonder. She looks and acts like her father whom she loved so so dearly. We do have this little piece of Chris. He also had another daughter named Brittany Nicole. Chris was very young when she was born and she stayed with her mom Carrie. Carrie has been raising Brittany; and I am sure she is doing a great job. We have not seen Brittany since she was an infant in the year 1994. But, she is I am sure another wonderful part of him and I hope to one day talk to her and tell her of her father she will never have a chance to know.
I think Chris would want his legacy to be that of hope, love and peace. We have all struggled with peace since his passing. It has become a foreign concept since the day Chris ripped himself from us. But Chris is at peace now for the first time ever his restless mind and running thoughts are laid to rest. And so should ours be. Know Chris is with us, on every hot day of the summer all the way down to cold days of winter, he is there. Chris is on the highest mountain tops, the fluffiest clouds, seeing the bluest waters, singing and playing his guitar for all of heaven to hear. I remember Chris loved the song Patience by Guns and Roses. He use to play the cords on his guitar and sing. Man Chris had a great voice.
But just have patience we will all see him again and love him again face to face. Not just in our hearts but face to face!
Patience by Guns and Roses: 1,2,1,2,3,4 (whistle) Shed a tear cause I'm missin' you I'm still alright to smile Girl, I think bout you every day now Was a time when I wasn't sure But you set my mind at ease There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said "Woman, take it slow It'll work itself out fine All we need is just a little patience" (patience) Mmmm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs Cause I'd rather be alone If I can't have you right now I'll wait dear Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time But you know love there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow and things will be just fine You and I'll just use a little patience Said sugar take the time cause the lights are shining bright You and I've got what it takes to make it We won't fake it, I'll never break it Cause I can't take it
(whistle) little patience, mmm yeah, mm yeah need a little patience, yeah just a little patience, yeah some more patience, yeah could use some patience, yeah gotta have some patience, yeah all it takes is patience just a little patience is all you need (background vocals)
I'VE BEEN WALKING THE STREETS AT NIGHT JUST TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT ITS HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE BUT MAYBE THE NAMES I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME CAUSE I NEED YOU YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, CAUSE I NEED YOU OOO I NEED YOU, WHOA I NEED YOU OOOOH, ALL THIS TIME (ah)
