Chris was my person, my soulmate, my protector, and my very best friend. He was and will always be the love of my life. We were making future plans, we had dreams and goals, we were working side by every day and life was good until November 21st 2023. The doctor came in the room and told us he had cancer, and it was stage 4 colon cancer, we both looked at each other and couldn’t breathe. No one said a word. I felt my heart sink and although we tried to stay optimistic, we were terrified. The last three months were the absolute worst time of my life. To watch the person, you love more than anything in the world endure so much. We had all the hard conversations, we spent countless days and nights holding hands, talking, crying and praying. He had to make some very tough decisions and through it all I watched this incredible man fight harder than anyone can ever imagine. He was so strong, so brave and fought to the very end. I was blessed to be holding his hand on his last day. I was able to tell him everything I wanted to say, I was able to pray with him and kiss him goodbye and he knew I was right there beside him like I always promised I would be.
Chris, I will never stop loving you. Thank you for the best 32 years of my life baby.
