REMEMBERING

In Memory of
Christopher Waite
I remember..
The day when we first met
My parents house wasn't even built yet
I was just four and you were six
remembering how we
grew up together in the sticks
Playing hockey in the street
with all the boys
In front of the house we would meet
when I would get hurt you'd
pick me up,dust me off and get me back on my feet
Because of this I am so tough
because of you I don't ever give up
somehow you were always there
you were like a brother. I knew how much you cared
I remember there was this day On the bus
I started a paper war...how the bus driver got
so mad..I had caused such a fuss
when people blamed me you took the heat
and I just stared at you in disbelief
always ready to have my back.
I remember nights spent laughing and sharing our dreams
while eating bowls of cookies & cream
eating popcorn while watching movies and
you tickling my feet til I said you were "The king"
those times with you were such a groovy thing
I remember the parties we went to
we were always there
when I would drink too much and throw up
you were the one holding my hair
I'll never forget and
Because of this I knew how much you really cared
I remember...
Days when you would pick me up in your car
riding around listening to Bob Seger,Steve Miller
and CCR you never left me stranded and with you
I always felt like a star..like I mattered.
I remember times..
when I had hard days you would come lift me
up with just your presence and your smile
Yes..I know I had it good for a while
you would take care of me and I would take care of you
it was just something.. for each other we loved to do.
But as the story goes..
One day there came this terrible fate
The world lost a true gem..something so great
and I lost my best friend
Christopher Scott Waite
I'll never forget the day your life
came to an end.
that morning I shouted at the sky
I was angry with the sun for coming up and that
the wind still blew..I didn't understand why?
how could life go on .. time go by and not
stop for someone as good as you~


P.S.~ You'll always be missed. you'll never be forgotten
For those of us who knew you and the lives you
touched..In our hearts you'll always be loved so much
For we witnessed something so few ever get to see
such a big heart and the display of your generosity
you never judged or turned your back
you loved unconditionally
Because of this you'll be remembered for eternity

RIP~ Christopher Scott Waite
