Chris Bates

Just when we think life is settling into something of a routine, LIFE happens.  Mother's companion, Helen, once said to me "Dying is a part of living."  On last Thursday, my niece Donna's son Chris was killed in a bicycle/minivan wreck.  These past few days were beautiful beyond belief.  So many hearts have been bleeding, but together.  It has been a sad time, too, of course.  But there is also a deep connection of all who knew and love Chris that is heartwarming.  I know Chris is glad knowing all of us are celebrating his life and sending our positive energies to accompany his soul's journey.
