23 Years..

This statement kinda sums up some of my feelings and I’m sure it speaks for the others in the family.

22 Years

This year Christopher would have become a Grandfather twice with the birth of Teddy Zepfel (Whiney and Evan) in January and the recent birth of Jade Caroline (CJ and Andrea) in September. These beautiful events are the latest in a long line of missed family landmarks over the past 22 years. Never forgotten, always with us.

21 years

21 years; a long time ago but also an immediacy that never leaves. I remember thinking, shortly after it was obvious that Christopher was lost on 9/11, how there would be a dark sad void where his council and voice would have resided. How difficult that would be and how the lives he touched would never be the same.  I wasn’t wrong.
