Chris as a kid

I know that the years aged Chris and his life wasn't always easy for him. But when I think of Chris I will always remember the little boy who was so hungry to know what the world outside of our home town was like. Every time we would come home for a visit he would want to know what kind of music was out there, what kinds of food had I eaten, what were the clothes like, etc. I always felt like I was a little off growing up because I didn't like the same stuff that everyone else liked and when we came home I wasn't really in tune with the family likes. Then Chris noticed me one day listening to a tape and he started asking. I have never seen a child who wanted so badly to know what the rest of the world was like. He never let me feel like I was crazy or wrong for being myself. As time went on, I don't know if he ever really knew how much I appreciated having someone to talk to about my friends or the music or styles that hadn't quite hit our home town yet, but he meant a lot to me and his acceptance meant the world. I think he found some of what he was looking for when he went to college, but I think in the end what he really wanted, he found at home with his family that loved him. I will sorely miss his smile and his laughter. I miss the boy who asked all the questions.
