I remember reading this when it was first posted, and again about a year later, and again just now. A lovely and enduring tribute to your friend, it’s the entry that’s stayed with me the most, and is a reflection of just how truly special this blog is.

Thank you for sharing this, and for all 998 other posts you’ve shared thus far. Can’t wait for number 1.

Found this entry through Frank Warren’s reference to your site on his PostSecret page. What a touching tribute to your friend. I’m sure, even now, he looks upon the good times and smiles. We should all be so lucky as to have such great friends.

Best wishes to you as your countdown comes to a close. I hope it was a very fulfilling experience.

This was a very touching & well-written tribute to what sounds like an amazing guy. I teared up from the get-go and they actually went over at the end. I’m sure he would be happy to see how positively he affected you and the many others in his life. God bless.

Every good person in my opinion is named Chris, my grandfather Chris raised me and this story made me smile, because now I’m pregnant and on his death bed I told him my child boy or girl would be named after him. I’m happy to be bringing into this world another Chris.

Incredible. I have lost several people that have touched me, and I try to focus on the beautiful memories they have left me with. I have read this entry several times over the last few years, and again it hits close to home. Thank you for the reminder to laugh and love the time we had with those who’ve moved on.

Hey! I came here because it was linked on Post Secret. I know where those stone legs are in the top picture. My brother and his friends painted socks on them shortly after they were built. Many have repainted them since, but they were the first! Surprising to follow a link on PS and see that. Small world.
