Chris,
To you my loving daughter Chris, I miss you so much now, and always will miss you. When your mom passed away, I knew you missed her, and you always wanted to be with her someday. Now I know that you are with your mom. Chris, you were the love of my life and always you will be. No one will replace the way you always enjoyed doing house chores with me, you were the most caring, most thoughtful and wonderful daughter. I miss you sending me your daily loving text messages.
I miss all the times when we sat together, planned together, traveled together to many of our family vacations. How I miss those times. You were my genius daughter, I used to get a kick out of you telling me how to do things well before I could figure it out. I miss my genius girl. I remember the day when we went to watch your Def Leopard band, I can’t believe you went wild and started dancing at the Def Leopard concert, I knew you were having fun, real fun. But you know what I miss the most Chris, is your genuine loving hugs, I knew you loved me as your dad. I miss the times when we would both go either to the silent movie festival, or the capital theater, it was fun hanging around with you. Oh! How about the Twilight Zone marathons we watched on television? I miss you Chris, I do.
You were so affectionate and loving to your step mom; my wife Blessed Sikhosana-Bird. You both loved each other so much, you texted endlessly. That made me happy. It was a delight to watch how you both loved and respected each other. I was attracted to the way you both spent time together cooking, shopping, dining together. Unami misses you so dearly., so does your favorite brother and friend, Andy Sipho Chikwehwa. You smiled every time Andy spontaneously dropped in from Canada to see you. You and Andy loved each other as siblings, we watched you grow together, Unami and I enjoyed your relationship. You were loved by my family in the Rome,NY and Unami’s friends and family all around the world, meaning in the USA, Zimbabwe, UK, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia.
But I am happy that you are at last at peace and enjoying your reunion with your mom, Josie.
I am hopeful Chris, that one day, God willing, we will meet again.
