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

╔════ೋღ════⋆⋆═══ೋღ═════╗
......ღ⋆ೋ⋆ 25TH APRIL 2012 ⋆ೋ⋆ღ.....
╚════════ೋღ⋆⋆ღೋ════════╝
Perhaps one day we’ll understand
Why God decided to take your hand
And lead you into Heaven above
surrounded by his tender love.
Never does a day pass by
that we don’t ask the question why?
Why did God take our precious son?
Was it something we had done?
We hope to face the Lord one day
and ask him why you couldn’t stay
on earth with those who loved you so,
those who wanted to see you grow.
We mourn for the things that will not be,
for the things with you, we'll never see.
the fun and games we'll never share,
for special times when you won't be there
No more to see your smiling face,
Nothing will ever take its place,
In our hearts you will always stay,
While we await that 'One Sweet Day'.
That 'One Sweet Day' in Heaven above,
Where we will meet and affirm our love.
Once more our arms will hold you tight,
As in God's presence we'll reunite.
Until that day, we must live our lives
Ensuring each memory of you survives,
And feel your presence, ever near,
each time we shed each painful tear.
"See you in Heaven", you'll hear us say,
as you watch over us every day,
Then when our lives on earth are done
We know you'll be the one to come.
You'll take us gently by the hand,
and lead us to God's Heavenly land,
where all together we will be,
our, once more, happy family.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone.
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
The death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today.
Would you see the world?
Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy.
Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday.
Someday, Someday.

There is no consolation
When we lose someone we love
God chooses every Angel
To grace the skies above.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰
Leaving so much heartache
Tears welling in our eyes
Searching for our Angels
High in the Heavenly skies.

We know that there is nothing
To mend a broken heart
If so,please can you tell me
For I don’t know where to start.

If time is a great healer
How long do we have to wait
For i know my heart wont mend
Until i walk through Heavens gate.

Just like it used to be
Because my precious Angel
Will walk along side of me.

Never a day passes that I do not remember.
Yet, I must admit that it becomes
more difficult with passing time
To retrieve from my memory
The precise cadence of your laugh,
The intricate design of your features,
The spring in your step.
⋆════ღೋ════ ⋆⋆ ════ೋღ════ ⋆
But never a day passes that I do not remember.
I remember in the absence of things,
The cheerfulness,
The beauty,
The energy,
The passion you brought to life,
The empty seat at the dinner table.
I remember because I hurt for things that are no more.
⋆════ღೋ════ ⋆⋆ ════ೋღ════ ⋆
And never a day passes that I do not remember.
I remember in the presence of things,
The photographs,
The funny expression,
The quick step on the back stairs,
Your favorite sandwich,
The colours of life you enjoyed,
The love stamped indelibly on my heart.
⋆════ღೋ════ ⋆⋆ ════ೋღ════ ⋆
Sounds grow faint,
Visions fade.
Sometimes I am frustrated by that,
Then I remember that your memory
Pulsates in every beat of my heart:
Love keeps it alive.
⋆════ღೋ════ ⋆⋆ ════ೋღ════ ⋆
Never a day passes that I do not remember.
And quite often
When I remember
I cry.

HEAVEN

A silver thread that keeps me near
To those I love and hold so dear,
Will somebody slip, and I'll swim free
A soul afloat in a bounteous sea.
♥
I'll also soar in the maddening glee,
To places unseen, by you and me.
Through darkest night and brightest day
I'll fly to a far and magical bay.
In eternal heavens of LOVE and PEACE
♥
My God-given life will never cease.
The passing of time will be obsolete....
Travelling the auras, no great feat.
♥
Don't you grieve, notice the sound
Of my songs to you, with love abound
I'll never leave you, dont you see
I'll live with you, Eternally!!!
