R.I.P to Chris, from reading this thread it seemed like he was a pretty chill and down to earth guy. It's really unfortunate that these happen. This is just another reason you should enjoy every second of your life because you never know when that stray bullet will hit you. I guess God thought it was his turn to go and from reading many of your post it sounds like Chris made a positive impact on many people's lives. We all should take this loss and look at it as a gain. Even though nobody shall ever have to bury their child, you should use this to make you a stronger human being. There is nothing wrong with mourning the death of a friend, because it is still a tragedy, but the next morning you should wake up and smile because you're alive. Chris positively impacted many people's lives, now it is your turn to do something great. It is your turn to impact lives and live like there really isn't a tomorrow. The only thing guaranteed in life is that you'll die, and that you survived yesterday. There is no guarantee you'll survive tomorrow. So every day you wake up tell yourself you're going to work your hardest, be the person you want to be. The most important part is to live for today, but also live for every single person that deserved to see tomorrow and won't be able to.
