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.

2 years...
I can't believe it's almost 2 years since that night!! This is probably a little selfish but there are so many things that have happened that I would have loved to tell you about - so many things that I would have loved for you to share! I dunno - it all still seems very surreal... Thinking of you always.

Wish I'd known you
I never knew Christopher and, from what I read here and hear from my family, I've missed out. I read something in the paper about it last year without knowing he was family. The next day my aunt (Christopher's great aunt) told me the whole story and I went cold as I realised the significance of that newspaper item.
Best wishes to Christopher's mam and grandparents as they cope as best they can.
