Felix,
I worked with your dad in the ICU at St. Bernards. I remember walking up to our assignment board one day while this guy was showing blurry pictures on a flip phone of his cats while wearing a Dolphins toboggan with a poof on top(way before you... more

As a kid, I always thought of Kris as one of my cousins that was so much older than me. However now that I am older, the age gap doesn’t seem quite as big as it did when I was 10 and he was 16. I always thought of him as being so smart and relatively quiet as compared to some at all of our family get togethers. I don’t know why some memories stick out more than others, but I particularly remember him taking a nap in our grandma’s blue recliner one day after a holiday meal. He was stretched out so long! I have no idea why I remember this! I also remember how he was always switching what he was going to do as a career. I guess these are things I later learn you get bombarded with at family events (haha) There is no doubt be a ended up in the right career as a nurse. Another memory I have is going to Barnes and Noble one night and seeing Kris. I had ordered a drink from Starbucks and he yelled something to me. I didn’t even recognize him because he had so much facial hair! I remember he scared me so bad. This was the first time I even knew he had a girlfriend. That girlfriend turned out to be your awesome mom. I remember they were sitting at a table for two. I remember thinking she was beautiful! I think I went home and told everyone how surprised I was Kris had a girlfriend! (Not because I didn’t think he could get one, but I really was surprised just because I don’t remember him ever bringing girls to our holiday events!)
Another thing that almost goes without saying is, I think your dad loves to say random, off the wall, things. I was babysitting Neely and Lela while your Amanda was out of town. They came to stay at your grandparents house. I was in college so I must have been 21 or 22. Kris came in from work and he had his scrubs on. He was picking up some of his mail I think. He was making small talk and then randomly asked if I had ever been drunk (hahaha) so random! I will never forget him asking that and me thinking “what in the world?!” I knew he was just trying to mess with me, and his goal was accomplished.

Felix, I know Kris carries on through you. I can’t wait to hear stories about you that others see Kris in. You are so loved. Your momma is amazing. We are so thankful she is our family. Happy Birthday sweet boy.

With love,

Molly less

One of my favorite Kris stories is from when he was around 12-13 and was in the youth group at First Baptist Church in Blytheville. One Saturday, the group took a trip, I believe to the mall in Memphis, and the kids were given strict orders to be back on... more
