Just surfing around here for the first time, kinda new here. I just had a thought about A very good friend Cris G., he was my only christian friend. I miss him a lot. I think it was last year or whenever Hurricane Harvey was. He and I had a lot in common, Sense of humor, both artists, music style, & movies. I met him at an old job we both hated, & we kind of shared similar career paths, I always thought that was kinda of funny/strange. I was surprised to find out he was a christian. i think he was surprised i was too. It was very cool to know another christian in place we worked, i'd like to think we were both at the same spiritual level, and as I stated we had a lot in common. it was cool to ask him about biblical things at work or to discuss bible stories. I really miss that. He was very knowledgable. I miss him a lot. I could go to him for advise about anything.
Sadly, I believe it was late 2017 he was driving in tennessee I believe. when hurricane harvey was passing through. he got caught in the down pour, swerved to avoid a truck lost control of his car & died.that's about all I know. I'm in california, and he was living in denver & nashville I believe. i'm not close with his family. I got the sad news from a mutual friend. i think about him often and hope he's at peace. in fact, I know hes at peace. My only regret is the night he crashed he called me ,unfortunately, I was sleeping & I let it go to voice mail.the next day our mutual friend texted me " did you hear about Cris? I replied no, then he explained what happened. I felt so guilty: ( I Still feel bad. worse, when It was later told that he might have been driving away from his girlfriends house after gettingi n a fighting with her. I'll always wonder if he was calling me for advise or to comiserate about his "crazy"relationship. I'm thinking If I could've calmed him down, or eased his mental state. I feel so bad not answering the phone that night. but honestly, I just didn't feel like talking with him, he could get intense at times and I really wasn't in the mood not personal, but he was just kind of taxing at times. I just wasn't ready for that at that moment. I hope he can forgive me. much later I listened to his message, but it was nothing other than "call me when you get this"... sort of thing. nothing too alarming. he was my christian brother!
Rest in peace! Cris!
