Thank you angel friends, for being here for us :) Taking good care, peaceful moments.
hi angel friends, my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy,and enjoying a peaceful day :)We want to take this time, to thank you all, for being here for us, through this very sad, and emotional time we're going through. We feel your hearts hugging our hearts. it's very comforting, and uplifting knowing you all are here <3 We're taking it easy, and continuing to talk, sharing memories, and stories of times shared with my brother Charlie over the years. my mom made some calls today,and also has been recieving many calls, from family and friends. We called our friend Shirley (Squarley) today, and our friend Gaye (Luvmytitans) called us yesterday evening. it was good and comforting, talking, and finding comfort in spending time here on ds, writing to friends, and writing in my journals each day. Holly and i are under the weather, we've had some scratchy/sore throats, since the weekend, but have been managing, but this morning we both woke up feeling achey/weak. i tried to spend some time here on our couch this morning, but had to lay back down and rest. we had some breakfast, drinking some orange juice, Holly had ginger ale, we also had some gatorade, and took some tylenol. we've been up at times today, and resting. We did take some covid tests, and thankfully the tests showed negative test results. we're having some grapes, eating well, and keeping hydrated. there seems to be a cold going around, my mom, dad, and Taylynn have coughs too. we're hoping to feel better. We've had a lot on our minds lately, and making plans for Charlie's funeral. We're continuing to take things a day at a time ,minute by minute ,as we cope and grieve. we're feeling very appreciative, and grateful of everyone's love, care, prayers, and support, it's very comforting and uplifting. We're gonna continue to take things a day at a time. the days have felt so very different to us, and the hours sometimes are fast, and sometimes very slow. we're hoping to get our full health back, so we can get into some more nature walks, and being out in nature. You all are helping us very much each day.
my family, Holly,and i recieved a very heart-felt delivery today, from our dear friend Stephanie (Coolgal) :)She sent us a broadway basketeers box, that says with deepest sympathy. inside the box, there's nice goodies and treats. This is very nice, sweet, comforting, and thoughtful of Stephanie :) We appreciate it very much <3 A very special thank you for Stephanie :) my family, Holly, and i appreciate everything :) We'll enjoy the goodies and treats :) the outpouring of love, care, and support, is very comfort, and uplifting. Thank you all for being here for us :)
We'll be having a special memorial service/funeral for my brother Charlie very soon. we've been sending out a gofundme link, that Jenn created, for the expenses for Charlie's funeral. We've all been rallying together. it's all been very surreal to us. we've been thinking of Charlie often, and spending reflective moments sharing stories, and memories :) in the early 2000's, Charlie and his son Cj use too come over to visit, especially on sunday's. i remember us playing the playstation 1 and 2 gaming systems, including games like SSX Tricky, snowboarding game, and Pro Bmx game. We use too have lots fun playing the games, and i have those games, including replays of the gameplay on memory cards, i'm so glad i saved those fun moments, it's very emotional, thinking back, but we know it's good for our hearts to think of all of the special memories, and stories. i look forward to sharing more stories, and memories in loving memory of Charlie, as time goes on. i'm going to very much, miss our texting eachother about the upcoming football games, and season. we know Charlie would want us to continue to enjoy football, and to keep his memory alive, for his love for sports, and nature :) my parents are doing best they can, it's been very hard on them, and us all. we'll continue to take all the time we need, to cope, grieve, and reflecting. we know lots of family, friends, will be joining together soon, to pay respects to Charlie. You all will be with us in spirit <3
We're going to get some good rest tonight, and will continue to take things a day at a time, each day forward. Thank you again ,our dear angel friends :) We love you all very much :)We all say hello, and are with you all our dear angel friends :) Wishing everyone a peaceful evening and night :)
A special heart-felt thank you, for our dear friend Stephanie (Coolgal), for this very nice, Broadway and Basketeers box, filled with goodies, and treats :) Stephanie sent us a sweet note, sending her condolences, and sympathy. Thank you Stephanie, from my family, Holly, and i :)



A Dream, and Wish Fulfilled <3 Holly and i are so proud, we could help Charlie get this nice canoe, to fulfill his dream, of being out on the water, to go fishing. he loved nature, and fishing :) he was so proud to get this canoe, and texted my mom, "i can't believe i own a boat" :) he went to Salem, CT last friday, fishing, and sent my mom a picture of him out on the water, fishing. we find much comfort, in helping make Charlie's dream, and wish fullfilled <3
Picture of Charlie on the water, in his canoe, fishing. we will always treasure this picture and heart-felt moment <3

My dearest CT family, I'm so sorry. I have sent you a message.
Thinking of you all. xx
Dearest Chris and Holly. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I am guessing it is because of all the stress of the last few days. Glad you are taking good care of each other. I hope you both feel better tomorrow. So glad the COVID test was negative. Love the pic of Charlie in his canoe. He looks like he is enjoying himself. That is definitely a picture to treasure. Take good care and keep us updated.
Sending love and healing hugs. Hope you feel better soon. Gosh, too much all at once. Take a deep breath and get lots of rest. Keeping you all in my prayers.
I’m so glad that you and Holly were able to help Charlie get his canoe so that he could go fishing. What will you do with the canoe now? Is it going to be sold? I would think so. It’s really a great pic of him enjoying nature. :-)
So sorry that you and Riley aren’t feeling well and hope you both feel better soon.
Continued prayers for your family and lots of comforting hugs
