Day 74 - Chris

Chris was one of my band buddies Senior year. He was supposed to be my only one, but then there was one freshman with no good buddy and I volunteered to take him on. Chris was also a Senior and we'd been friends since freshman year. We were going to be buddies to avoid responsibility together and come up with ridiculous gag gifts for each other. It was a fabulous idea.

While trying to decide how to present Chris, I can't stop smiling from all the memories. Think of someone who lights up any room he enters, can make anyone smile, even when they want to cry, and has a fantastic sense of humor, especially about himself; whatever you're imagining, it cannot live up to Chris. Chris broke the mold, was a cut above the rest, and ever other over-used cliche you can think of.

Chris is the kind of guy you hope to fall in love with. The kind of guy you want all of your friends to have a chance to be friends with. You wish everyone in the world had their own Chris to brighten their lives.
