I didn't think I would be so affected by the passing of Chris, Udigitthemost. I joined our friends (and his family) in praying for his recovery from his recent illness. As someone who believes in her faith, I was very sad to hear that he had passed on, in almost a selfish, childish query of "Why Lord?" I wondered didn't you hear our prayers? But I know he did, sometimes we just have to let go of the things we have no control of, this is one of those moments.
Like most of you, I met Chris and Rose online, right here at JU. They became fast friends, more than just "online personalities" to me. We shared Christmas cards, even sent gifts through the mail! He was such a "wise-ass" and relish being one! My name for him and his quick-witted wise-assness was "lovable nut" because he always had me rolling on the floor with his antics!lol!
We spent many a wonderful time here on JU, on LiveJournal, on Twitter, Blogger and our favorite hangout spot, Facebook. I'm happy to have known him. You know he's already in that place creating havoc, cracking a joke and just being the wonderful person he was!
Rose, we love you and send you waves of hugs, love, and condolences.
