Capturing such beautiful moments with his friends (and now they are yours) and being able to reflect on the day I'm sure will bring comfort for years ahead. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing Chris and thank you for sharing YOU! <br />Xo LelaLela Bleau//Mom_2_K_and_Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862592616089930323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-10541456897544112262013-01-10T17:28:58.614-08:002013-01-10T17:28:58.614-08:00I had a smile on my face today reading this what a...I had a smile on my face today reading this what a greay celebration! In a previous post I told u about the lanterns we lit at my grandmothers grave last year it made me feel better we had about 30 of those lanterns we were afraid people would call the police thinking they were UFO's or something lol. I have never been to Buffalo Wild Wings but would like to go just so I can see Chris' jersey what an honor!!Nikki Oliverihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851203803906165057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-79381453129517587972013-01-10T16:03:00.013-08:002013-01-10T16:03:00.013-08:00I have been following your story since my sister i...I have been following your story since my sister in Colonie shared the initial news report of the accident. I have been praying for you all since then. We are the same age, both come from large families and I have a son just a year older than Chris so I can relate to a lot of your stories of raising your children.<br />I wanted to share with you what happened as I read your blog yesterday about Chris's birthday. I read the paragraph where you asked readers to sing happy birthday and I thought it couldn't hurt to add my wishes to others so I sang to him for you. Then I continued reading and as I scrolled further down the page I noticed a photo of Chris with Bailey where Chris was wearing a West Virginia University shirt. I realize that signs are what you interpret them to be, but that shirt blew me away. I haven't seen you post anything at all about a connection with Chris and WVU, but that is where my daughter goes to school so to me, it felt like a little thank you nod from Chris. So I wanted to share that with you because I think he heard everyone that you asked to sing to him and you really made his day.<br />Thank you for sharing your blog - I'm sorry I never knew your son, but rest assured he is still making a difference in people's lives.

I'm sure he was right beside you joining in the festivities. I thought about you, your family and Chris all day. Enjoy the games tonight, I think it's awesome what the two schools are doing. My son was planning to go but isn't feeling well. So we'll be routing for Shaker from our house...I've mentioned before, Connor, is the youngest of four and a senior at SHS! As always, thank you for sharing another beautiful story with us.

How beautiful.<br /><br />The latern being stuck in the tree reminds me of the balloon they released at the Memorial that did not take flight, it floated along the football field, making me thing Chris was there, letting everyone know he'd be hanging around, mostly to comfort those who were sad, and letting them know his presence will be here for a long time to come. From what I'm reading, that's his personality and he's holding true to that!<br /><br />I knew you would be surrounded by many yesterday and I'm glad you celebrated for Chris. How beautiful!<br /><br />God bless...<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218681605043607769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-85403169296288408042013-01-10T05:08:51.458-08:002013-01-10T05:08:51.458-08:00P.S.

I work with your brother-in-law Gary (he is my favorite VP there) and that is really my connection to you all as we moved here in July from San Diego. I'm very grateful for how you make us feel a part of your life and family and we pray for you all the time. May you continue to have strength and comfort on this new journey.
