Today, the most difficult day of my life, we gather here today to say goodbye to my son Kristofor. Kristofor was not only my son, but a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin and a friend to many. To those of us here today who knew Kristofor you are already aware of the type of person he was. And to those of you here today who were not as fortunate, hopefully my words can give you a glimpse of the young man that he had become. Growing up he was the most loving, caring son and friend. He lived his life like any other carefree kid trying to find themselves. Enjoying life with his family and friends. He has always been a good looking boy with his dads great smile. And while he got his looks from his dad, I like to think he got his personality and heart from me. Kristofor has lived in many different environments the past five years. From hospitalizations, group homes and sometimes even sleeping on the streets. I tell you this not for sympathy for him but so that you may know his heart. For there have been many times these last few years that when Kristofor had nothing, he gave people he knew or met his jackets, clothes, food, his last few dollars and he would tell me "they needed it, I didn't really need it anyway." He never lost his heart. His short time here as an adult, my son has suffered from mental illness and addiction. He struggled deeply to find his place in this world. Looking for acceptance and understanding, suffering deeply from the storms within himself.

Kristofor you may not have been the perfect son. But you were my son. My first child. My first love. You opened my heart and taught me how to love. You prepared me for your brother and your sisters and taught me how to be a mom. To love someone so deeply and unconditionally was not something I had known before you. I was only eighteen when I had you and while I may not have been ready for a child, you were my gift from God for he knew that I needed you. I still need you and my heart will forever ache. You were always such a handsome, good, caring, loving person that you made it easy to be your mother. You were such a happy boy and you made many good friends throughout your life and had many good times with them. However, your short time here as an adult I watched you fade away as you struggled with the demons inside your mind, trying so hard to stay. I know you did the best you could and as your mother I wanted to take care of you and try to fix all your problems. I am so sorry son that you felt so lost and alone in this world and I could not take your pain away. Please know that you were never alone, for I always carried you, even when it may have not felt so. I will have peace in knowing your pain is no more.

My life will never be the same, for you left us far too early. I could never have prepared for this day. The day that you received your wings and I would have to let you go. Today we would be celebrating your twenty-fifth birthday, instead it has become your first heavenly birthday. You were a very special person and left us far to soon. I will hold all the precious memories you left with me forever in my heart. I will always miss you and yearn to see your face, hear your voice again, and hold you one more time. I know I cannot bring you back and I will try to take comfort in knowing that what peace you could not find here on earth with us, you have finally found in Heaven. I will always love you, now you are safe and free from all your pain and suffering my sweet boy now that the angels have taken you away.

Love you always and forever, Mom
