"It brought him down into depression but that didn't change the smile he had on his face everyday to hide his pain.

"On a waiting list for counselling but the appointment came just 1 week to late! on July 2nd 2015 just 12 days before his 25th Birthday Christopher decided that he had to leave us all behind.

"This hit us all so hard! but MIND where there to help as much as they could.
