Christopher was killed on the 8th of May 2005.
He'd been on a night out with his best friend and was knocked down and killed by a speeding car on
his way home just 2 yds from the front door.
Christopher was a lovely lad. He was such good company he always used to make me laugh.
When he was out with friends he always had to be the funny guy making everyone laugh and keeping
their spirits up by talking in a funny voice or cracking jokes.
He was caring and loyal to his friends and always ready to listen when anyone was going through a
bad time and likewise they would do the same for him. I'm so grateful that he had such a good set
of friends and none of them were into drugs or anything like that.
He was a big Michael Jackson fan and would often get asked to perform the famous moon walk which
christopher had practised over and over again from being quite small until he'd perfected it. All
his friends used to love watching him do this, me included, he'd even tried to show me how to do
it.
Christopher was also a very sensitive lad, we would sit for hours late at night talking about things
and having a few drinks and listening to music. Christopher and I liked exactley the same music and
we would often dance together in the lounge to our favourite songs. I miss him so much it
physically hurts. I feel like part of my body is missing.
Christopher was my only child and we were so close. I brought him up on my own for the first 10
years of his life and we had such a bond. There are times when I feel I don't want to go on living
but I know I have to.
On New Year's Eve 2005 it would have been Christopher's 21st Birthday. He had just recently passed
his driving test first time and I was so proud of him. I'd promised to buy him a car for his 21st,
and just shortly after his death I saw the perfect car for sale near where we live. I so wish he
could be here to celebrate this. Now New Year's Eve will always be a sad time for us.
I miss you so much Christopher and you are in my thoughts every waking hour. I will always love you
and you will be in my heart forever. I've not just lost a son, I've lost a friend too.
Love Mum XX
on your angel day we remember you forever, this day and every day after, you will always be in everyones heart x
Wise Men Say
•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~
Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes,
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies.
Wise men say we come again
To live another span,
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan.
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure,
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law.
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream,
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme.
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form,
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm.
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain,
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again.
(Alan Pemberton)

ask mum how she is
My Mum, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before
But from now until she dies
She'll tell a whole lot more
Ask My mum how she is
And because she can't explain
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain
Ask My Mum how she is
She'll say "I'm Alright"
If that's the truth then tell me
Why does she cry each night?
Ask My Mum how she is
She seems to cope so well
She didn’t have a choice you see
Nor the strength to yell
Ask My Mum how she is
"I'm fine. I'm well, I'm coping"
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken
She'll love me all her life
I loved her all mine
But if you ask her how she is
She'll lie and say she's fine
I am here in Heaven
I cannot hug from here
If she lies to you DON'T listen
Hug her and hold her near
On the day we meet again
We'll smile and I'll be bold
I'll say, " You're lucky to get in here Mum,
With all the lies you told
xx
4 terrible years
Hi babe, It's been 4 years since you were taken from me. It only feels like yesterday you were here making us laugh but like all mum's still worrying about your future. It sickens me to know that that future has been ripped away from you by someone elses selfish behavour. Your father Stephen Benson passed away last year 25/10/08 he died in hospital of cancer. I hope you are both together now and comforting each other. Please know I love and miss you both. All my love always. Mum xx

RIP Chris
I didn't know Chris that well But he was always a good laugh and a really pleasant lad. He wouldn't say a wrong word to anyone. People always say things like "it shouldn't have happened to him" or "he didn't deserve it" but it really shouldn't and he didn't. My thoughts go out to his family.
RIP Chris
