Christopher Viggiano - Online Memorial Website

Thinking back earlier today, how we all would get together on Saturday nights. Adults would play cards and all the kids would just have a blast, running around and just laughing, having a great time with one another. I can still see Chris smiling and joking around at the age of 9 with his cousin jay. Can see from memory, his surfer haircut and that smile of his. Lol his long fingers and toes, I always called them " finger toes" lol. He was tall and lanky and those big ears, I used to tease him and say, " Chris you'll fly away" lol of course he'd just laugh. Lol oh Chris did grow into his ears, fingers and toes, as he got older, he was worried about that lol.  Chris was so full of life and his energy he had... Well he had so much of it, always outside playing. But, those Saturday family times were the best, Chris really loved to be around people and truly loved his family and friends. 

I think of all our alone time and what you wanted for the future. It all revolved around your son. To better his future, not just yours.Goals you still wanted to achieve. I remember thinking, how much you've changed and grown since his birth. never in my wildest dreams or a thought that in seconds it can be taken away and someone who had so much to do or planned for himself and his families future could be crushed as if they were done here! Now am left with.. What would he be doing? Where would he be? How much more could he possibly love his son, because love does grow, but he loved cayden so much already. These are just a few things that I will never know and am left with my own thoughts or guesses. These are memories I have to keep deep within. I can pull them from memory whenever I wish to just feel that you are still close ( or feel as if). and hearing small stories occasionally from your friends... Let's just say those really make me smile, because I know you had nothing but that big perfect smile on, loving life. Thank you for leaving me with good memories  that I can reflect on, sometimes cry and other times smile!!
Chris I miss you more than anyone could even imagine, except one going through same. I will forever love you till we are again together for eternity!! Rest peacefully!!

I think of Chris everyday, conversations we had or things we did. Him coming for a visit and leaving with bags of food from my pantry, of course I'd go to the market before he came and get stuff he liked and used, and I'd act like we have so many or we won't use it. Oh how he laughed, I'm sure he knew what I was up to. I think of him and the person he was becoming, how he'd talk about his little " love" handles forming on his hips, I remember laughing and saying, " you're getting that adult man body, spreading out a bit" Chris laughing that big, wide smile saying" hell no, we are doing something about that" we laughed. Often think of how he would be today, the things I don't get to see. And that smack on my butt he always did, god it used to piss me off, but realistically I would love him to smack it now. Lol although the ups and downs , I am very glad he left us on a good path, even if his life was cut short, he was doing good. Chris, will always be rembered for that person who loved life and the people in it. <3 

i remember talking to you in the hall way of your apartment. I said " well Chris now you will know what its like too stay up all night xmas eve putting together toys.. just like i would always do.. and you said " Yea but, its so worth it to see him so happy " and i said " now you see why i did it for all those years " .

I reflect back, years ago, to when Chris lost Kenny a friend of his. How he was so driven to honor this friends passing by marking his skin. I always voiced my oppinion on tattoos. Oh my how chris would laugh and say, " no way mom, I love you but im getting one for little kenny" and he did on his right arm. Although i knew what it meant to him to do this, possibly a way for him to never forget Kenny. Then his dedication to me, when he showed me I remember saying, " what? are you crazy? Why? His reply... cause I was always there for him and never gave up. I told him that's what a mother does, we never give up. But he always said thanks, then had it also tattooed in chinese symbols on the front of both hips. Then is sons name within wings across his chest, after his birth. It was beautiful. Although I personally dont care for tattoos, I know that they are either expressions of a person or something very dear and meaningful. Chris showed through is tattoos that he truly loved his family and friends. I now at times look at tattoos on people and see them  differently. Chris showed me that they have meaning behind them.
