My pregnancy with Chris was a much longed for but very tricky one. At 26 weeks i was rushed into hospital with a low placenta and Mum said her prayers to get us though. All was well in the end when, in October 1989, the birth of Christopher Patrick Dennis Higgins, my beautiful baby boy at 8lbs 12oz, made us proud parents for the fourth time.
You see, that turned out to be Chris's way - he'd choose the most mischievous path, the one laden with mishaps and pranks, but he'd reach the end every time with that smile on his face and ready for the next adventure.
He was a troublesome little devil at times, an artful dodger who pushed the boundaries and lived life to the full. And it was those eyes, that cheeky, infectious smile and that naughty laugh which made it all forgivable. We wouldn't have changed Chris for the world, then or now.
Anyone who knew Chris, even for just a short time, would be impressed for the amazing zest for life. As one of our five childrenhe carved out his own unique personality and he grew into a charming, good looking, sweet-talking and fun to be around young man.
But there was much more to Chris than the fearless "Jack the Lad" image that so many of us saw. He was kind, caring and compassionate, often beyond his years and he was honest about his actions. He looked after me and his grandad Paddy through some tough times. We'd giggle for five minutes before he helped me up off the floor if I'd fallen - he was thinking of me and he made light of the situation for my sake. People didn't think Chris took life too seriously but he looked out for his family and his friends.
The things i have heard said about my son since he passed away have almost made me burst with pride. The way one young man, my son, managed to touch so many lives in such a short space of time is unbelievable. It's that enormous sense of pride, taken from the hundreds of people praising my son, that has been the one comfort to me and our family.
The day of Chris's funeral, while being one of the hardest days of our lives was also one of the proudest. Seeing a church so full of people, whose lives Chris had touched in some way, was overwhelming. that praise is the greatest tribute I can ask for my son. We've found it's not just family and friends that saw him as a great listener and good company. He was remembered by people he had only met once. Chris was kind thoughtful and funny. His Dad and I light up when we hear people talk about him.
He had a sense of humour and a knack for storytelling that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget. Chris had matured into a great person. A great son. A great brother. And a great friend. Whether it was watching the match, at rugby, DJ-ing or listening to one of his stories, every one of us, every member of his family and his friends has those moments with Chris that they will treasure.
Chris's family are, and always will be, immensely proud of everything Chris was - a very special young man, full of life, love, passion and fun. Chris had a sense of caring that not everyone saw, but those who did were blessed.
Our cheeky monkey, our ray of sunshine is so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. We were blessed with 18 years of treasured memories with our five. We miss the stories, the laughs, but most of all just having Chris here, at his best and full of beans.
Through all the heartache we will treasure the time we had. He is missed more than words could ever express but the memories we have of Chris will keep us strong. Chris loved life and lived it to the fullest. We can take comfort in that if nothing else now. He is unspeakably and profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched. A son and a brother to remember with love and most all PRIDE.
All Our Love,
Mum, Dad, Billy jnr, Colette, Tom, Lucy

Monday
❄
May the meaning of Christmas
Be deeper, its friendships stronger,
And its hopes brighter
As it comes to you this year.
Tuesday
❄
As we prepare for Christmas,
Our thoughts will be of you,
You always made our Christmas’s,
The happiest we ever knew.
Wednesday
❄
We'll try our best to celebrate
The birth of Christ our King,
But in our hearts we realise
We've lost our everything.
For Thursday
❄
At Christmas-tide the open hand
Scatters its bounty o'er sea and land,
And none are left to grieve alone,
For Love is heaven and claims its own.
Friday

⋱ ⋮ ⋰A Christmas Wish⋱ ⋮ ⋰
❄
Christmas tree's begin appearing
Cards will follow on
Trimmings all around us
And we begin to have Christmas Fun
❄
Greetings are being sent to us
But for some its just to hard
As simple as it sounds
They cant even send a card
❄
A time for celebrating
To send a Christmas Cheer
But for some its time for wishing
Their Loved ones could just be near
❄
By Lisa Heritage
Christmas Eve
❄
Christmas without you here with me,
Can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
One so precious, who has your name.
❄
An Angel forever watching over me,
At Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
Inside my heart, you are so very near.
❄
There is no special present for you,
Wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
All the love you can still feel from me.
❄
No, Christmas time without you here,
Could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
And the memories and love, will remain.
unknown
Christmas Day
❄
We are sad within our memory
And lonely, this Christmas Day,
For the ones we loved so dearly,
Have forever been called away.
❄
We think of them in silence,
No eye may see us weep.
But many silent tears are shed,
When others are asleep.

Monday
Love is like a butterfly;
It goes where it pleases
And pleases wherever it goes.
Tuesday
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
Wednesday
Think of your Angels as living
In the hearts of those they touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
And they were loved so much!
Thursday
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
Friday
This is a very special angel
As you can plainly see
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you, from me.
Whenever you are lonely
Or even feeling blue
You only have to hold this angel
To know I think of you.
So keep this angel with you
As a reminder of the joys we've shared
And remember it's a symbol
Of a loving heart that cares.
Anon
Saturday
Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"
Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace
Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye.
Anon
Sunday
Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu
When some one smiled at me today
I started Smiling too ,
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my Grin
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him
I thought about that smile
Then I realised its Worth
A single smile just like mine
Could travel around The earth
So if you feel a smile begin
Don’t leave it Undetected
Lets start an epidemic quick
And get the world Infected
EVERY ONE NEEDS A SMILE
