chris called. he is in the land of chocolate. he's safe and sound and extremely tired. he will be staying at his grandmother's place with his parents and sister (i believe) but has no phone or internet. chris plans on going over to sarah and rudy's place to use the phone
chris, if you are reading this...know how much you are loved. nate and i miss you so much. you know what i miss the most? i actually made a mini list at 4 this morning...
i miss
-kicking you during the night when you snore
-picking up after you (your glasses, wallet, drinking cups, papers, clothing, towels....)
-i miss sitting down and having a coffee and a chat
-making you your lunch
-bugging you with silly "no reason" phone calls
-popping by work to have a coffee with you
-your mass amount of emails that you send me daily
-telling you the silly nate stuff with
-not having you here to bounce ideas off of
-not sending you pic after pic after pics of all the neat ideas i have....instead i am saving them to the lap top
-telling you the slamming deal i found to go to disney *hint, hint*
-not being able to show you my abs...i swear they are there!!!
-not having you here to eat the other half of my donut, fries, coffee, chips, cookie etc...so i ate them all whole
i just miss you, lots and lots and lots!!!
chris, take the time to say good bye to your grandmother. cherish the memories, laugh at the good times, smile at the good stuff. walk through the vineyard, savour the smell of the grapes, walk the familiar paths of your village, taking in the view. sleep in the house of your childhood, dig up hidden treasures, share them with others. sit and enjoy your meals, filled with calories and fat (haha) reflect on the past. enjoy being and spending precious time with family. make and create new memories. but most important of all, know that i am with you as you take this journey.
take the time you need to heal
take the time to enjoy your family
take the time to hear from god
take the time to enjoy yourself
i love you and i can't wait to see you again. i love you!
*remember my wish list...tea pot, chocolate for me(the hazelnut one, square lindor and smartie rutter) and chocolate bugs for natey*
