This episode is going to be different than most. This episode might just be for me. I want to tell everyone how much I loved and respected Chris and how thankful I am to be able to call him my friend. He will be missed, he will be grieved. I really like what Steven Wilson Jr says in one of his songs that “grief is only love that’s got not place to go”. So the pain of the loss is equal to the love that Chris showed to the world and that is a lot.
