As we near the third anniversary of Chris' death, I've decided to share another special part of his life with you.
Chris’ last month was very humbling for a man who had always been strong and took good care of his family. (In return, it was my privilege and honor to be his caregiver and be by his side throughout this 6-year journey.) He was in almost constant back pain because of the changes in his torso due to a collapsed lung and 5 fractured vertebrae that had been repaired. He walked lopsided with one shoulder noticeably lower than the other due to his collapsed lung. He also lost 2 inches in height. If you could see him now, he’s walking streets of gold. He’s standing tall and whole!
Chris knew that his final day on earth would eventually come and had been praying for the best but preparing for the worst. He helped plan his own funeral service. He was an amazing photographer, and his favorite things to photograph were God’s creations. Click on the link below to see a collection of his favorite photographs, set to music, that he asked to be shown at his funeral. Imagine him singing, “If You Could See Me Now.”
