I first met Chris when he was about 2, another nephew I was happy to meet, I got to know him only briefly but did get a chance to hold him in my arms and like all of my nieces and nephews he accepted me as someone who he seemed to have a connection with.
years later, when he was about 8, I went to Vegas on vacation and met him again, I gave him the nick name Charley Bucket because of his blonde hair and he did sort of look like the kid from the movie Willy Wonka.
I lost touch with my family about 2 years ago and recently getting back in touch, I learned less than a week ago that he died, the night I got the news I got drunk, cried and cursed at God.
I know it in my heart that we all come here to earth for a reason, we are offered the challenge to take on our own life path, shown what our purpose here on earth will be, than we either accept or decline without being judged by God. Christopher accepted his challenge.
we see our entire life path in an instant, are told of our mission and when we will (die) leave earth.
we are born into a human baby, with some memory of heaven which goes away with time (before a year) because we can not know why we are here because if we did we would try to rush the completion of our reason here so we could return home to heaven.
but our reason for being here can only happen if the rest of the chips fall into play, for example: Bill Gates couldn't have started his mission to cure aids without money, he could not have made that type of money without the advancement of the internet, so he could not have jumped into aids research when he was 17 in the 1970's.
how many times have you heard the term de je vu?
how many times have you heard "my life flashed in front of my eyes"?
I bet many because we all know what both of those mean.
let me bring you back to heaven for a moment, we are all shown our life in a flash even before we are born, and people who almost die say they saw their life flash before their eyes.
the reason we have had de je vu is to remind us that we have seen that situation before, de je vu is a tiny memory of when we watched our life happen in heaven even before we were born.
some people die when they are 90, some when they are 20, in retrospect it is the same time, at the end it all was a flash.
there are no clocks in heaven, time is only of this earth.
we are all sent here, each for our own reason and we leave when it is time for us to leave.
Christopher had a very important reason for coming here, the way he died was very powerful, and so was the reason he was born.
it had to be the way it was because the message he left needed to be that powerful, there are kids at the age he was who needed the message he sent, his death sent a message to the people who needed to hear that message, he saved countless lives, those people he saved will effect other people in good ways because they avoided following his path, (he was the fork in the road) one of them may even find a cure to a disease that there is no cure to at this time, so Chris sent the message to that person not to do that drug, and saved their life, he saved someone who will eventually save many more people, that person is very important to the human race because they will figure out a cure to what ever ailment is hindering the human race.
the person Chris saved is very important to the future of humanity, but if Chris never came here to earth all of those people would never had a chance, no matter what. Christopher Wrath was more important to humanity than the person he saved because if he never came here those people wouldn't have had a chance.
knowing what I know I don't cry for Chris, what makes me cry is thinking about how his mother must have taken it.
Chris is a hero Deanne.
love Keith.
