Christopher Viggiano - Online Memorial Website

So many memories, especially this time of year. The football season. I remember hearing Chris clapping from his room when the eagles made a good play or touchdown. Sometimes so loud. Chris loved his philadelphia eagles. Oh my Chris and his dad texting each other about the game when he moved out. His dad loved that, and misses that. Then mothers day 2008 my son  bought me my very own authentic eagles jersey. It was one of the greatest gifts he gave me that I hold dear ( next to my grandson and picture of himself in a frame with a nice saying that is). Chris was very excited it give it to me,I'll always remember that day. He even got one for himself. I didnt watch any football last season cause it was hard, all the memories linked to football. It just ain't the same. This season I will try again and keep in mind how Chris loved sports and his beloved EAGLES. So in Christophers memory....Go Eagles!!!!

Chris and I had so many conversations. Most will never be repeated, but kept in that special place in my heart. But, he talked of the future he wanted for cayden. how very much he loved him and that he was the one thing in his life, that made him strive to be a better person. He would say, " mom you remember the first time I had cay alone at home?" then he would laugh loud and roll his head back and say thats the best thing you guys ever did for me. Leave me to take care of my son by myself. And I think back on that day and recall all the details chris told us of the FATHER SON BONDING DAY. It was, " my god the poop that comes out and the different colors!! and what the hell's he eating!! I laughed and so did he. To see Chris turn into the father and love that boy with all his heart is a special love only a father can have. Chris always said all he does is for cayden. That he wants to be home when he goes to bed and there when he wakes. He would sacrifice his own for his son, he actually said that to me. I think back now and wish I would of said what I really wanted to say, but he needed to figure it for himself. Chris had such a love for life and family. I know he's looking in on us all time to time and is watching over cayden. <3

MY WHERE DO I START..HE REALLY HATED HAVING TO CHECK IN EVERY TWO HOURS IN THE PRETEEN THROUGH AGE THIRTEEN. OH I REMEMBER HIM SAYING," BUT RYAN DON'T HAVE TO CHECK IN" AND MY REPLY SIMPLY, I'M NOT EVERYONES MOM. I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. BUT CHRIS CHECKED IN EVERY TWO HOURS. THEN AS HE ENTERED HIS TEEN YEARS WE STILL HAD HIM CHECK IN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. BUT HE DIDNT HAVE TO EVERY TWO HOURS. HE WAS SO HAPPY. SAME WITH LEAVING OFF OUR BLOCK, HE COULDNT LEAVE OFF OUR BLOCK TILL HE WAS ABOUT TEN OR ELEVEN ( I KNEW HE DID SNEAK, I SAW HIM A FEW TIMES) BUT WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO I REMEMBER HIS SMILE, HE SWORE HE WAS GROWN. CHRIS WAS A GREAT KID GROWING UP, NOT AN OUNCE OF TROUBLE EVER. HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY AND A TEMPER. SO HIS PERSONALITY MADE UP FOR THOSE DAYS HE'D DRIVE ME CRAZY WITH THAT TEMPER. CHRIS WOULD ARGUE TO THE END IF HE KNEW OR THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT. HE LIKE TO BE THE LEADER, NOT A FOLLOWER. HE ALWAYS SAID THAT. HIS FRIENDS ( CLOSE ONES) HE ALWAYS SAID, THE TRUE FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, KNOW MATTER WHAT. SOME OF YOU STILL HIS FRIENDS AS AN ADULT. I SEE NOW HEARING ( OR MEETING) CERTAIN ( OR SEEING PEOPLE) NAMES, LIKE VALEN, JULIE AND WILL FOR EXAMPLES, HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR ALONG TIME. THESE CHRIS CONSIDERED GREAT FRIENDS. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE PEOPLE BUT THESE ARE JUST A FEW. CHRIS LOVED BEING OUT WITH FRIENDS AND SOME DAYS JUST RELAXING IN HIS ROOM. AS HE GOT OLDER HE GAVE US AT TIMES SOME TROUBLE, SOME I THOUGHT IS HE EVER GOING TO BE OK? QUESTIONED WHAT I DID WRONG OR WHAT I DIDNT DO. THEN REALIZED IT WASN'T ME, BUT THAT HE HAD TO FIGURE IT OUT ON HIS OWN. CHRIS HAD TURNED EVERYTHING AROUND FOR HIS SON. CAYDEN, WHO WAS  POSITIVE IN HIS LIFE, THAT DROVE CHRIS TO BE A PRODUCTIVE PART OF SOCIETY. IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT CHRIS HAD HIS LIFE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Oh Chris I remember this day... It was so funny, You had brought Cayden over for a visit..And man could we hear him SCREAMINGGGGGG from the car POP-POP...It was so funny.. Cayden was getting so mad because he felt you didnt undo his car seat fast enough to come and see us..Man we had a good laugh on that one.. I remember how much it touch my heart to know he wanted to see me as badly as I wanted to see him.. THANK YOU CHRIS that's a memory I will never ever forget.. Cayden will always be one of the greatest gifts you have ever given us..

I OFFTEN THINK ABOUT US PRUNING MY ROSE BUSHES SUMMER OF 2010. HOW YOU EXPLAINED HOW CUTTING THEM BACK WILL HELP IN THE GROWTH THE NEXT SPRING. WE TALKED FOR HOURS ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO WITH YOUR YARD, WE MADE PLANS TO PLANT FLOWERS AT YOUR HOUSE AND, DAD AND I  WERE GOING TO SURPRISE YOU WITH THE FIRE PITT YOU WANTED.  I'M SO HAPPY I HAVE THOSE SPECIAL MEMORIES TO KEEP. AND I WILL IN OUR NEW HOUSE HAVE OUR GARDEN AND FIRE PITT JUST FOR YOU CHRIS!!! XOXO LOVE YOU, MOM
