Dear Chris,

It’s been six months since you left this world, and my broken heart is still open and bleeding.

I can’t tell you how much your words and voice have meant to me most of my life. I’ve been thinking of making a favorites list. I love all your songs, but some resonate with me more than others. I guess that’s just the way it goes. Nevertheless, I love everything you did musically.  Everything.

So here goes nothing. Here is my list, but remember, no list is perfect, no list can encompass everything, and it is just that – a list. You are much more than that. Thank you, Chris. May your soul live on in all of us.

Love,

Your fan, Emily
