"I want to be remembered in numerous ways. I want people to know who I was. When I die, I want the people of the future to know that I had made a difference. I plan on making that difference in the near future. Give it a little time and my life on earth would be worth it. I want to make a difference in somebody's life. Even if it's a small difference. I want to be noticed. To make a difference in a person's life is one of the greatest deeds you can perform. To make somebody feel good about themselves should make you feel good about yourself. To make a buddy happy should make you happy. All of these things are good traits of a good person. I am not saying there are bad people, I am just saying that if you make the right decisions in life, good things will come". Collin's ends it with this quote. " Your preferences in this life will determine your pleasures in the next life"Collin wrote this 2 years before he died. He never knew the difference that he Had made in so many peoples lives. I imagine that when he entered the gates of Heaven..The Lord said to Collin "JOB WELL DONE." We know that our Colly has passed from Death to Life because he has LOVED. 1John 3:14

I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love. ----Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957
A Tribute to our Son
Collin Rhys Chittick
April 17, 1986 -July 8, 2002Words borrowed from Build Me A SonGeneral Douglas A. MacArthurYou built us a son, O Lord, who was strong enough to know when he was weak, and brave enough to face himself when he was afraid; one who was proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. You built us a son whose wishes did not take the place of deeds; a son who knew Thee- and that to know himself was the foundation stone of knowledge. You lead him, we prayed, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here, you let him learn to stand up in the storm; here, you let him learn compassion for those who fall. You built us a son whose heart was clear, whose goals were high; a son who mastered himself before he seeked to master other men; one who learned to laugh, yet never forgot how to weep; one who reached into the future, yet never forgot the past. And after all these things were his, and, we prayed, you gave to him enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. You gave him humility, so that he always remembered the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. And now we, his father and mother, dare to whisper, "We have not lived in vain". Collin taught us all that you can make a difference in someone’s life, not by the things you have but by what you give of yourself. Be it a smile, a kind word, an honest heart or a compliment, it is the simple act of caring and loving that we all need. Collin was a loving young man and proud of his relationship with God - for that he will always be remembered. We will miss Collin forever but he will always be a shining light in our hearts.MY BROTHERS AND SISTERDAYN AND KERI
