Me and Chris met in person for the first time in 2018 at the Washington Park Arboretum. I'll never forget seeing him for the first time, all shy, all giggly, all beautiful inside and out, all him. We talked and talked, shared our life experiences, and connected our similar dreams. We knew how we were each other's one, and that evening was the beginning on our journey together in the world. We went on holding each other's hands through the weeks, months, and years. We learnt to expand our love for each other while running through the valleys, hiking up the mountain peaks, and relaxing at the beaches admiring the sunset's aura. We always stuck by each other's side through it all. One of the endless memories that I'll never forget, this one relates to the picture. Although Chris is busy looking at the beautiful sunset in the picture, he is also looking at me at the corner of his eye. We did this simple yet powerful gesture to each other whenever we were doing anything, to let each other know that we're here with each other, how we're connected with each other, how we love each other. It was something we always instinctively did. I deeply cherish every moment we ever had together, and I miss him so much.

Christopher knew at a young age he wanted to be in the medical field. After watching our Mother's journey with Rhuematoid Arthritis, one day he told her when he grew up, he was going to become a doctor so he could take care of her and find a cure for RA.

Chris's contagious smile and his calm presence to the clinical site every day :) He was making every day working or staying at hospital pleasant and relaxing for his colleagues and his patients during. Thank you Chris.
