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

ONE DAY CLOSER TO YOU XXX
I Sometimes Ask The Lord
Why He Took You Before Me
And Though He's Never Answered
I Guess It Was Meant To Be.
I Tell Myself You're Watching
That You're Never Far Away
I Sometimes Feel The Slightest Touch
When I Bow My Head To Pray.
I Know Heaven Must Have A Window
With No Curtain To Hide The View
I Know You Must Stand There Often
And Watch Me Missing You.
I Know You're Helping Me Go On
You're Guiding Me Through The Pain
I Somehow Sense You're Telling Me
There's More Sunshine Now Than Rain.
Each New Day Now Dawns With Meaning
Something Inside Of Me Rings So True
Today Will Slip Into Yesterday
And I'll Be One Day Closer To You.
with love always
♥♥ With Love ♥♥
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too,
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name,
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame,
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part,
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our heart...
~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~
~~Angel~~
I am an angel by your side
don't be scared or try to hide,
for I am here guiding you the way
by your side here to stay ~~
I will be with you when times are hard
so please don't worry or put up a guard,
for I want you to see I am still here
to keep you safe and keep you near ~~
As an angel I want so much for you to know
'How much I love and miss you so'
so if you see me please do not hide
I am the angel by your side ~~
~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~
~~Good Friend~~
Good friends are forever
good friends are for keeps
when I see your name
my heart skips and leaps ~~
Whether pen pal on computer
or I can daily hug you
you are my friend
for what is inside you ~~
For my part I see that
this friendship has grown
to something imbedded deep
like i've never known ~~
I look forward to seeing
your name everyday
if only for a moment
it is just to say 'Hey' ~~
Whether my day is
lonely or full
that one small word
my heart you pull ~~
Through the computer
these words I send
to let you know
you are my FRIEND
~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~
