Chris Henry dies after being in car accident


Recommended Posts

Man this is not right not right at all. For a young man turning his life and and now this to hapen. I am broken down and Henry used to be one of my fav players. What do we have done as Bengals fans to deserve this, after a winning season in so many yrs and now this to happen. RIP man Chris you will always be in my prayers :(

Everything about this season to me is so bittersweet after this..

It just doesn't seem right. Chris turns his life around while assholes like Ray and Pacman are getting away with stabbings and shooting up clubs. It's not right, it really isn't.

It may sound strange but its shit like this that actually makes me believe in God more.

RIP Slim #15.

I agree.

My wife, son, and I got a chance to meet Chris a few years ago, and he was very kind and good natured. May all turmoil now stop and may he find peace in the afterlife.

"Much have we loved you. But speechless was our love, and with veils has it been veiled.
Yet now it cries aloud unto you, and would stand revealed before you.

And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of seperation."

-Kahlil Gibran

So very, very sad. Poe could have written this for Slim:

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

the heartbreaking thing is, if not for his broken arm, he's not even in Charlotte yesterday.

That's the first thing I thought of. There are many "if onlys" in times like this. Destiny flips on many hinges.

A blind man could have seen his devotion to his family at training camp this summer past. I really felt good about where he and his family were going at that time..

that is a good picture to show how he had turned things around. just makes it even more sad to think of that little child

These words are from the finale of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony (translated from German). I often think of this Symphony when I contemplate the now and the hereafter.

Rise again, yes, rise again,
Will you My dust,
After a brief rest!

Immortal life! Immortal life
Will He who called you, give you.
To bloom again were you sown!

The Lord of the harvest goes
And gathers in, like sheaves,
Us together, who died.

O believe, my heart, O believe:
Nothing to you is lost!
Yours is, yes yours, is what you desired
Yours, what you have loved
What you have fought for!

O believe,
You were not born for nothing!
Have not for nothing, lived, suffered!

What was created
Must perish,
What perished, rise again!

Cease from trembling!
Prepare yourself to live!

O Pain, You piercer of all things,
From you, I have been wrested!

O Death, You masterer of all things,
Now, are you conquered!

With wings which I have won for myself,
In love’s fierce striving,
I shall soar upwards
To the light which no eye has penetrated!

Its wing that I won is expanded,
and I fly up.

Die shall I in order to live.
Rise again, yes, rise again,
Will you, my heart, in an instant!

That for which you suffered,
To God will it lead you!

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside the still waters
HE RESTORETH MY SOUL,
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his namesake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, For thou are with me,
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,
Thou Annointest my head with oil, MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.
SURELY, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
AND I WILL LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER!!

R.I.P. My friend and hero. A man is not measured by how high he climbs, but on how high he bounces after he falls.

Man, i feel devastated. I have nothing but nice things to say about the dude from when I met him. He was nothing but nice as can be to me. I'll never forget when he asked me to tie his tie for him before he went in to court, the way he sounded cracked me up. Damn!!!! R.I.P. #15
