~ Rachel wanted to dedicate this page to her late big brother, Christopher ~
Thank you Rosemary, my dear sweet friend, from the bottom of my broken heart, for this locket for Rachel and the "Always in Our Hearts" locket, and for the wonderful graphic below with all of my kids, and for the beautiful background for this page, and for just everything you do. You most certainly are "Dabomb"!
Below are pictures of Rachel with her loving big brother. It seems that they were always together. Oh how I miss those days!
I find it interesting that Rachel now loves tigers and here you can see Christopher proud to be a Tiger Cub....just doesn't seem to be a coincidence at all....
Look at this wonderful gift above from my dear friend Pammi
Rachel sings this song when she is really missing Christopher. It just tears my heart out, but I try hard to sing it with her.
Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth
Written and recorded by Cindy Bullens
I curse the night
I watched you slip away
Wouldn't have done no good
To beg you to stay
You were here beside me
But now you're gone
I'm just trying hard
To carry on
But there's no rhythm in the rain
There's no magic in the moon
There's no power in this pain
Till somewhere between heaven and earth
I can find you again
Hearts are broken
And dreams are lost
But I made a promise to love
At any cost
Little did I know
The price was so high
Losing forever
In the blink of an eye
There's no rhythm in the rain
There's no wishes in the stars
There's no power in this pain
'Till somewhere between heaven and earth
I can hold you again
If I could one more time
Feel your hand in mine
Hear your voice call my name
And whisper sweet good night
Then there'd be rhythm in the rain
There'd be magic in the moon
No such thing as love in vain
And somewhere between heaven and earth
You'd be with me again
And I could see you again
And I could hold you again, my baby
Somewhere between heaven and earth
I will see you again
My dear friend, Sierra, I don't know how to thank you for this wonderful graphic you made for us!
More pictures of the two of them together, right from the start...
Best buddies with their daddy...
...and with their mommy.
Chris loved beavers and also Gopher from Winnie the Pooh. Now Rachel and I collect both of them in his memory.
This next picture is from the last Christmas that Chris was with us. Isn't he just the picture of health? We just cannot understand why he had to go, nor why he had to suffer so much. But Chris is always in our hearts, and Rachel firmly believes that he is now her guardian angel.
Willi certainly surprised us with this lovely locket! I cannot thank you enough!
This special image above, the "Etch-a-Sketch" below and also the PA tag and the LegoBeaver plate are all gifts from my dear friend, Sheri.
This very special image above is a loving gift from my friend Twiggs. She wrote about this: "I wanted to send you this card that I made, as soon as I saw the tube it made me think of your Rachel and Christopher, I hope you like it, and Rachel does too :) I think it was the hair and the dark eyes that reminded me of them both,,,"
