"And can it be that in a world so full and busy the loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up."~Charles Dickens
At 9:20 this morning our sweetest buddy Christopher,earned his angel wings.And earn them did he ever.Christopher was the epitome of courage and fight and strength, despite all that this life handed him.From his very first breath 11 years ago, to his very last,Christopher showed us all that hero's are indeed of this world.
I love this boy and he,he loved my Zoey.Their bond was undeniable and went far beyond their shared extra chromosome.
Godspeed little man,until we meet again.

Oh Heather, I am so sorry. I've "known" 2 babies who did not make it and in the short time I've been following your blog you have written about more than that. This world we circle in, this one where babies die, this one most moms don't know exist, is so incredible. Incredibly hard, but also an incredible tesimony to the human spirit. My soul has unburdened so much because of this special world, and these special kids, and their special families. Prayers go out to the ones left behind today, with undying gratitude for the promise that they will see their little one again.
I know how very special Christopher was to you, Heather. I am so, so sorry. I never had the privilege of meeting Christopher at CHLA, but I have no doubt that he and Thomas are already good buddies and playing together in heaven. I look forward to the day when Thomas introduces his newest friend to me...
Our prayers are with you and Christopher's family.
We too lost a warrior. Jessenia was given 3 to 4 months just a week ago today, and she already has her wings as of early Saturday morning. I am just trying to get myself together so I can go to her viewing tomorrow night. Somedays I am just screaming wondering how I ever got in this damn boat, the one all of us cancer moms are in, just waiting to see who is going to get thrown out next. I really really hate cancer
Oh I am so sorry to hear this! what a sweet picture you posted! It shows his hero character!
I'm so sorry! Love, Hugs and Prayers!!!
I am so sorry, words cannot express...love to you and his family.
prayers, prayers, prayers for little Christopher and his family. His soul is at peace now.
Heather, I'm so sorry. It never gets any easier to see our little fighter friends fly. Praying for his family tonight!
{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} Prayers for all!!

PS to you Kristen's mom, I just read your comment. I am so, so sorry about your little Jessica
(((so sorry about Christopher))) Hugs to all of you and to his family. It's so hard to lose little friends. I hate it! :(
Hey I tagged you on my blog for a virtual Easter basket fundraiser thing! It's to help raise money for Children's Miracle Network. I figured this would be a cause close to your heart like it is mine. Go check out the post to see how to play along. http://www.myspecialks.com/2010/03/hersheys-better-basket-blog-hop.html
I am so sorry that Zoey has lost another friend. It all seems so unfair but God had a different plan for him. He is truly an angel.

So sad and I didn't even know him! That just shows the amount of LOVE shared by all of us with our common bond! At least we know he is going straight up to be with our Heavenly Father! BTW; thanks for all you many comments on my blog! I love knowing that I have supporters!
Again, Silence. Deep inside.
I am so sad, and so sorry.
Oh gosh Heather this is not what I expected when I opened your post, my heart breaks right now, I can't find any words only tears. It never gets any easier to hear that another child has lost their battle, I hate it that so many children have to fight so hard when they should be having fun, with no worries just being children, it really is so unfair.
I pray for Christopher's family right now and pray that his little soul is at peace, painfree and just being a little boy.
I'm so sorry for your loss and for his family. Thank you for sharing him a little with us. I will say prayers tonight for you and all those who loved Christopher.
Ein stiller Gruss hinaus in die Weite des Seins.
