I remember Stone and I decided on a whim to go visit their dad and brother in Washington D.C. And I dont remember if Christina overheard us talking about it or if we asked her to come along, but in about a half hour of deciding on going we were already on our way. I remember Stone was driving and I was in the front seat. Christina were sprawled out in the back seat taking pictures and listening to music the entire 600 or so miles. I remember seeing her eyes light up when we got to the mountains. We kept laughing at and wondering where the hell "Falling Rock" was. We were so excited to be doing something so out of the blue. It seemed like forever while we were driving. But we got to DC at like 3 in the morning. I remember we called Micheal and asked what he was doing and that we were outside to come meet us and let us in. He didnt believe us and we told him to look out the window, but not realizing we were on the opposite side of the building. Christina were so happy to her brother and your dad and they were shocked to see us as we hadnt told them we were going to be out there to surprise them. Chris Stone and Mike stayed up all night laughing and having a good time. Ill never forget the first time out on the balconing on the 9th floor. Christina was SO TERRIFIED of stepping out there. She would put one foot out there and tap it to see if it was strudy enough to stand on. Well she and Stone both. We eventually we got her to come out and all she could do was stand in the doorway practically clinging on for dear life. We went sight seeing to all the various locations in DC. I remember we went to the White House and Chris and Mike and their dad were taunting the snipers on the roof. All Stone and I could do was pretend like we had no clue who they were. Christina even went out by herslef to get suvenieors for the kids and I remember thinking how brave she was for going all by herself in an unknown city. That was the most time Id seen her so happy. So full of life. I miss her so much. It hurts everyday knowing that all I have are just memories. RIP CHRISTINA

Christiana was Splintered Faiths #1 fan. She was always at every show she could get to. She was the only one to ever wear Splintered Faith t-shirts and hoodies (that she made herself). We had some good times together at the apartment partying with the band. Took her out "breakin shit" a time or two (we laughed our asses off at Rick one night for being a total wuss and faking having glass in his eye).


I'm glad I have those memories. I've thought back on those days time and again before, but now when I think about it rips me up inside. I wish we could have gotten along like that more often in the more recent years.


          

1. I miss going to moms and seeing/hearing her in the house. Now when I go there's this awkward silence.

2. I miss her voice. Every now and then I play the last voice mail she left me on my phone.

3. I miss Tina doing the "ostrich." Anytime Tina got embarrassed she would bury her head into her chest and put her arm over her head!

4. I miss singing and dancing with her whether it was at home, in the car, or at club, we always had a blast!

5. I miss shopping with her. We would go shopping together, but go our separate ways once inside the store. When we were done and ready to show each other what we got we would always laugh because we'd buy the same outfits!

6. I miss her showing up at my house...always around dinner time!

7. I miss spending my weekends with Tina, Yoda, Tom, Brittany, and Josh.

8. I miss sharing a room with her. Can you believe that mom and dad?!

9. I miss her crazy outfits and make-up she wore.

10. I miss her "good" side. I miss seeing her with Damien and Ada playing zombies. I miss watching her do Ada's hair all pretty. I miss seeing her hug and kiss Damien, her "lil knight." I just miss HER.
