This memorial was created from my baby cousin, Christopher Wayne-Allen Barnard, who was born on August 19, 2003 in Oklahoma, and he passed away on April 28, 2008.
About Christopher:
Ever since his parents Floyd Moore and Roxann Barnard separated, My sweet little cousin Christopher was beaten, neglected, and abused by Roxann and also by his Roxann's friend, Steven Locklear.
Since the day he was born, Christopher always made me smile. Whenever I was sad, he would bring me one of his toys or make me laugh. If I cried, he would cry too, or he would run to the upstairs bathroom and bring me a box of tissues (lol
).
He loved to play Super Mario Galaxy. He loved my Wii. He loved everything that had to do with a TV and video games controllers. Whenever we played outside together on my younger sister's trampoline, he would bounce for 5 minutes, and look up at me and say, "Shaaaaanneee?? Caan weez playy Marrrno Gallzzy(Mario Galaxy)?? Pweez??"
He would give me the sad puppy eyes until I said yes. I wish i can see those beautiful eyes, just one more time.
We would go inside and play Mario Galaxy for three to four hours until it was dinnertime. He loved to sit in "the chair next to Shane." He would ALWAYS next to me. I remember when we had spaghetti with sauce for dinner, and he used to take the spaghetti out of his bowl with both hands, and put it on his head. He would laugh and say "Look at meeeee, Shaane!! I hads(have) a spanmetti(spaghetti) wigggg!!" I used to laugh and say, "Guess who needs a bath??!!" and he would smile and say, "NOTTT MEEEE!!!"
Now, I go outside on the trampoline, and I cry, knowing that Christopher isn't here to jump with me. I go back inside the house, and I cry. I sit and cry on the downstairs couch, and wait for Christopher to bring me one of his toys or a random tissue box, but deep inside, I know hes not coming. I go upstairs to play Mario Galaxy on my Wii, and I start to cry again, because Christopher isn't here to play with me.
I miss Christopher so much, it hurts everyday, because something always comes up that makes me think about him. A smile can hide the tears, and a laugh can hide the pain, but nothing stops the longing to have you back again. I love you Christopher, I miss you every moment of everyday, and I will seen you again, my best friend.
From,
Your big cousin, Shane xxxxxx
Love you Christopher xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
