A day of remembrance

Today I grieve for a wasted life: Not a life less-lived; but a life cut short of its true potential.

Three years ago today, a horrible and random act of violence took place. Christopher Reuther, a crusader for the environment; a colleague who daily brought smiles to those around him; was senselessly murdered. I hope he knows how deeply he is missed.

The photo below was taken at a museum in Washington D.C. about 7 weeks before he was killed.



I think of that kid every single day. I know I always will. I'd give anything to see him sail by my doorway on his path to collect his daily mail. I know I'm not the only one who wishes he'd somehow appear at our next staff meeting.

Love you Chris!!!
