Christian Hans Sorensen

I met Chris in middle school right after I moved to South Jordan. We were both in advanced orchestra with Mr. Misco 3rd period, portable 5. We didn't really ever talk much until our Senior year of high school. We were dating each others best friends. Both of them were always doing something, dance, debate, etc. So, Chris and I would talk and walk while we waited for them to finish whatever it was they were doing. We wound up getting pretty close, and we've maintained that close contact. He is serving an LDS mission in Russia, and is have the time of his life. He misses everyone here, but couldn't imagine being any where else at this time in his life. He's met some amazing people and has grown up so much! I've always labeled Chris as the twinbrotherIneverwantedbutloveanyway. He has always taken care of me like a brother, and we seem to be the same person only different genders, so the title works well. I can't wait to see him this summer when he comes home!

The reason behind my dedicating this blog post to him, is I am personally havinge a rough time. I've let go of someone who was extremely close to me. I am having more medical issues, and no one can tell me what is going on, or why I have so much physical pain still. My family is getting ready for a vacation and that's taken a lot out of me. It's that old saying, when it rains it pours... Well, Chris writes me an email every week and he always knows just what to say. I guess it comes from the old days when we'd go on walks at 2am and talk everything out, and no matter the temperature we'd always end up laying under this street lamp in his neighborhood across the street from the big red brick house, playing music from his phone and he'd tell me stories of his childhood play days. The adventures, and the buried treasure he'd love to dig up from the backyard of that house. These songs will forever remind me of Chris, and the friendship we have.Lean On Me - Bill Withers

Stand By Me - Ben E. King

My Girl - The Temptations

Chris isn't known for being musically cultured, he'd always play Hands Open by the Snow Patrol, but he'd quote these songs and not know what on earth he was saying. It always made me laugh. Needless to say, I'm having an 'I Miss Chris' day... I can't wait until we're really related. Then my twinbrotherIneverwantedbutloveanyway, will be my cousin... Hahaha! Oh the oddities of the world!
