This is the hard part.
As a therapist you form bonds with your regulars. Chris was no exception to this. I’m grateful to say that he became a friend. He was and will always be, one of THE coolest people I’ve ever met. One of the things I’ve said about Chris when describing him to people is that he has done so many incredible and inspiring things and gone through more than most but yet remained so humble, funny and connectable. He truly was and will always be one of my very favorite people. Thank you for bringing so much light into this world and for creating a ripple effect that has changed countless others for the better. I am forever grateful that I had the privilege of knowing you. Love you.
