Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.


I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

The Gap

The gap between those who have lost children and those who have not is profoundly difficult to bridge. No one, whose children are well and intact can be expected to understand what parents who have lost children have absorbed and what they bear. Our children come to us through every blade of grass, every crack in the sidewalk, every bowl of breakfast cereal. We seek contact with their atoms, their hairbrush, their toothbrush, their clothing. We reach for what was integrally woven into the fabric of our lives, now torn and shredded.
A black hole has been blown through our souls and, indeed, it often does not allow the light to escape. It is a difficult place. For us to enter there is to be cut deeply, and torn anew, each time we go there, by the jagged edges of our loss. Yet we return, again and again, for that is where our children now reside. This will be so for years to come and it will change us profoundly. At some point in the distant future, the edges of that hole will have tempered and softened but the empty space will remain - a life sentence.
Our friends will change through this. There is no avoiding it. We grieve for our children, in part, through talking about them and our feelings for having lost them. Some go there with us, others cannot and through their denial and a further measure, however unwittingly, to an already heavy burden. Assuming that we may be feeling "better" six months later is simply "to not get it." The excruciating and isolating reality that bereaved parents feel is hermetically sealed from the nature of any other human experience. Thus it is a trap - those whose compassion and insight we most need are those for whom we abhor the experience that would allow them that sensitivity and capacity. And yet, somehow there are those, each in their own fashion, who have found a way to reach us and stay, to our comfort. They have understood, again each in their own way, that our children remain our children through our memory of them. Their memory is sustained through speaking about them and our feelings about their death. Deny this and you deny their life. Deny their life and you no longer have a place in ours.
We recognize that we have moved to an emotional place where it is often very difficult to reach us. Our attempts to be normal are painful and the day to day carries a silent, screaming anguish that accompanies us, sometimes from moment to moment. Were we to give it its own voice we fear we would become truly unreachable, and so we remain "strong" for a host of reasons even as the strength saps our energy and drains our will. Were we to act out our true feelings we would be impossible to be with. We resent having to act normal, yet we dare not do otherwise. People who understand this dynamic are our gold standard. Working our way through this over the years will change us as does every experience - and extreme experience changes one extremely. We know we will have recovered when, as we have read, it is no longer so painful to be normal. We do not know who we will be at that point or who will still be with us.
We have read that the gap is so difficult that, often, bereaved parents must attempt to reach out to friends and relatives or risk losing them. This is our attempt. For those untarnished by such events, who wish to know in some way what they, thankfully, do not know, read this. It may provide a window that is helpful for both sides of the gap.

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember him.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember him.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember him.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember him.

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember him.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember him.

When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember him.

When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember him.

So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember him.

You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I have lots of Chris memories from scouting and what a sweet, funny and extremely inteligent boy that he is. However, I never knew the intensity of his disease, you always gave him the opportunities to lead as "normal" of a childhood as possible along with the other boys. His passing was a shcok to all of us and we miss his 'smiley' face. Reading back on your journal and how little he was when it all began...you are such wonderful parents. May God continue to give you the strength that you need. God bless you,

One of my fondest memories was when Chris answered the phone and was in a playful mood. He was reciting the lines from a Harry Potter film (in "Hogwarts"?) and was talking so fast, it was like he was a funny genius. He could go on for hours "living the parts" from the movie, just like he was a true actor. His voice animation, etc. was truly superb. I was thinking of him yesterday and wondering if he's watching us. I just wish the family and friends could gather in the house for a prayer meeting, light a candle and visit his room. Why should we not stay in spiritual touch?! Chris will meet us at the other side, one day.

I recognized Chris's story right away in Brian Ante's "CASE STUDY OF ELEMENTARY STUDENT WITH CANCER", posted on our listserve, even though the names and places were changed. I don't know if you still keep up with the list or if it is too painful, but wanted you to know that Chris's struggle still continues to inspire others. That article is important in demonstrating the challenges and triumphs of educating a child with cancer. Chris did amazingly well in school, considering how much of it was in different states and different settings. I still have some of his poems/songs saved. My favorite is "Men in White". What a great description of an MIBG scan! Maybe at some point you could collect some of his writings into a book for publication. His amazing spirit and great sense of humor shine through in his works. Many blessings on you and your family.

Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Mother's Day. I know it's not going to be the same kind of Sunday celebration you'd have had with Chris, but...you are his mom, and always will be. You raised a remarkable boy, taught him to respect and think of others, to have a great sense of humour, to be brave when it wasn't always easy to be, and that is no small thing. My prayers are with you.

I think about Chris so often. I have my smiley face pin on my desk on top of my post it notes(it keeps falling off my name badge :-) so I see it everyday and it always makes me smile. Chris always had a smile for everyone, even when he was sick, and his smile would light up the room. Someone donated the book Zombie Butts From Uranus! the other day and I immediately thought of Chris and his delightful and sometimes interesting taste in literature. I miss having him as my connection to the world of children's literature. He defintely had a love for reading and I remember the times when we read together. He is in my thoughts, as are you both. Please know Chris had a great impact on my life and I remember him with a smile on my face and love in my heart.

Dear Allison and Pat:
I too having been thinking about Chris this past week. I had the pleasure of going to his school last Friday to be on the morning show and accept a check from the school for cancer research. I also had the opportunity to go to his safety patrol post and see the beautiful flowers. Everyone at the school had so many wonderful things to say about Chris and they miss him very much as do we all.

You are so right about Chris. I never heard him speak a bad word about anyone or even be angry in clinic. He always had a smile on his face and a smile to give away. Everytime I go to the clinic I miss seeing him and also miss seeing you, Pat.
Please know that Chris will never be forgotten.
Love,

I'm sure it's been a difficult week to say the least, remembering Chris' last week. He certainly left his mark on all those he met, in person, and through his website. Chris was a remarkable young man, wise beyond his years, and seemed always to think of others. Some of us spend years trying to develop some of the qualities that came so naturally to Chris, and he is certainly a son to be proud of. My thoughts and prayers are so often with your family.

Chris's memory is still with his friends and they remember him, talk about him and miss him. Take care.

I've been away from the NB family for so long that I was unaware of Chris' passing. I'm so very very sorry and it's already been a year. You guys were always a steadfast support for myself and Justina. Although, we've never met it seems that we have "known" each other for years. I feel like a real schmuk for not keeping up with your story.
Chris definately left a legacy and path sprinkled and inspired for those of us that are left to be kindled by him.
No human words can ease the pain and loss and the lonliness that I cannot comprehend that you must be feeling. But, I'm awed by your great courage to be the great parents you ARE and continue to be. Chris will forever live on this planet through his own works and your shared memories.

Just wanted to let you know that I checked in to get my Chris update. He is always in my thoughts when I read a joke or see something silly, I think about Chris.
Bless both of you.
Love,
Miss Shelley

Just wanted to let you know that we had wonderful memories of Chris the other day. Zoe was a classmate with Chris his final year and remembers him all the time. She had just found a happy face pin and just spent some quite time thinking about Chris. She refused to be sad and was telling me about Chris and how wonderful he was. We just wanted to let you know he has not been forgotten and he is remembered for being such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing him with us, Zoe feels she is a better person for knowing him. We hope all is as well as can be and wish you all the best.

I was a fifth grade student at Lake Magdalene twenty years ago when the Challenger disaster occurred and remember the trees that were planted in remembrance. It is so wonderful that you both continue to honor Chris's memory as well as other brave warriors who have taken risks and journeys to benefit all of us. You are both in my thoughts and prayers daily as we approach the anniversary of the day we lost a very brave warrior. God bless you both.

Just stopping by to let you both know that you remain in my thoughts and prayers, especially this last week as you have had Chris' birthday to commemorate. I'm glad his azaleas continue to bloom; somehow it's fitting for Chris as he never gave up either.
