Chris was definitely one of those quiet people who have a deep sense of humility and who go about their daily lives without fanfare and committed to serving the needs of others.
The empathy and sensitivity he demonstrated in his dealings with you and others shows that he was someone who was spiritually very special – he evidently faced his own trials without bitterness or self-pity, preferring to help others.
I am not sure if he was a committed Christian but I can hear his Lord welcoming him home with the words “well done, good and faithful servant”.

What a wonderful story about Chris’ life… or was it about yours? Hard to say. We never know other people without knowing more about ourselves.

Heather, this is a wonderful story — you were so blessed to have him in your life at such a vulnerable time. I bet that sharing his knowledge and passion with you about drama, etc, was a huge thing for him, too — it is wonderful to have a mentor, but equally wonderful to BE one!
Thank you for this insight — I am envious, and can certainly understand your parents’ attitude!!
