A letter to my son, Christopher J. Evan Nesselrode, Where to begin, 12 years, that’s how long you’ve been gone, Catherine will be 12 in September. You should be 29 in October. But forever you’ll be 16. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, wonder what you’d be doing. Would you be in the National Guard? Married? Have a child? Where would you live? What would you drive? I have so many questions that I’ll never get answers to, why were you taken so soon, why did you try to swim across that stupid lake, why did I let you go to Neil’s in the first place. Not hearing your voice, your laughter, see your smile and your eyes light up when you’re up to something and seeing your face is something I’ll never be able to come to terms with. Hearing you call me “mom”. Sometimes I’m afraid I’ll forget the sound of your voice. You’d be so proud of Catherine, she’s awesome and a lot like you, very kind hearted. She’s also stubborn as a mule. She’s missed out on the most amazing brother a girl could have. Your friends have been a big comfort to me and Catherine, they remember you and miss you as I do. I could go on, but the fact remains..you’re gone and there’s nothing I can do to bring you back. I miss you as much today as I did 12 years ago. Please know that I love you and you’ll always be in my heart and soul. Drop me a “postcard” when you can
