Yes! Being a Christ follower (I like how you always call yourself that 🙂 is about embracing life and the Lifegiver from Whom all blessings flow! We have a spirit of hope, not a spirit of fear. Not even fear of death.

Oh Chris, my heart broke when I read that your mom did. But like you said she's only just waiting for us. She's waiting for you. Just keep making her proud like you already do!

Lastly, I think you and Kristen make for the cutest most sweet beautiful couple! She must be a Christ follower too like you. I see it in her eyes as I see it in yours and there's nothing more beautiful 🙂
