Dear God,
I don't know if I can handle this...I don't even know how I feel about any of it...I keep trying to keep my mind off of it and then I think of him sitting there scrunhed up in a little ball...dead. He's 23! 23!! What the fuck! I'm so angry and so frustrated and so sad and so....I don't know. He was so kind and sweet and he loved You...he loved you dammit...why the hell is he dead? I love you but I'm pissed...23!!! Britt and Michael were youunger than him when they died earlier this year but I didn't have to see them..i didn't have to stare them in the face...why is life so hard...why can't it ever be easy for just one day...just one day..thats all I'm asking...I'm so sick of this roller coaster....I'm so tired of struggling and carrying my cross...
Chris was an angel and he had a problem...why do some people get better and some people don't. Why do some people get the help they need and others don't....why was my sister so lucky over and over again..why not him? I can't even believe it...i don't believe it..I have to go to the wake or I won't believe it...its so unreal and yet its as real as it gets. I spoke too soon about not having gone to a funeral in a while..here's to number 16...and the choir is going to sing "Go Light Your World"...that song is going to take on a whole new meaning for me..its not going to be the happy little song from Feehan...everytime I hear it its going to remind me of him. I wasn't his closest friend but I considered him a friend and he was such an amazing person.
I remember his voice...how he couldn't stay int une but he didn't care because he was singing for you and only you....he only wanted to praise you...and I remember how he loved my care bear mittens...and how he made me hot cocoa before the tree lighting...how he teased Lindsay about how she looked canadian lol...about his long explanantions before his songs at praise night...all good happy memories...
He was so lost Lord..he just needed you...and I believe you were there...and I trust that you took him for a good reason but I don't now how I;'m going to be able to handl;e this funeral....I can't see him I can't...but I need to ...I have too...may his soul always rest in you..may you always hold him in the plam of your hand and let him feel no more pain and be happier than we could ever imagine...make him a guardian angel and give him a big fluffy cloud to rest on while he watches over us:)
Love,
Katie
Rest in Peace Chris Finn.....choir will never be the same and neither will we....Emmanuel will always be your second home:)
