In Memory of Christian Brooke Webb

I didn't make this video to make anyone cry but to celebrate the life of my daughter, Christian Brooke Webb. She was born March 31, 1993 and returned to God May 9, 2008. She is the most precious daughter, sister, friend, girlfriend, child and woman we all could have asked for. She taught me so much about love and forgiveness... and how to smile when you feel like crying... that's my baby.

She always told everyone she loved them and her last message to many was to get their life right with God. When I asked her if she could imagine what it would be like when Jesus comes for us, she said she had so much she wanted to do. She wanted to get married, have children and take care of me when I get too old to take care of myself... but then a few minutes later she said if Jesus came for her before she did all those things, she would go with him. She always belonged to God... and although he took her from this world, he will restore us in his perfect timing.

This video is a gift to my Mom and to my daughter... two very strong women. When Christian was little, we called her "Brenda, Jr" because she acted so much like her "Gran-nenna". My Mom has been so through so much with me.

Christian had a strong faith in God. Sometimes I would sit back in awe as I watched God work through her. Her friends tell me that what they remember most about her was her smile and her ability to make you smile when you felt like crying. I think maybe that's maybe because she knew how important it is to smile. She battled depression but she was fast on her way to victory. The morning of the accident, she could not stop smiling. She told me that she felt as if her life was going to change for the better. She was so right. She is in the presence of Jesus now.

I thank God for allowing me to be Christian's Mom. I thank him for giving me 14 precious years with his beautiful child. And even more, I thank him for knowing that the best is yet to come. I thank him for calling Christian and preparing her throughout her life so that her eternity is now being spent with him.

Life is but a vapor. We don't know when God will call us home. Live each day so that if today is your time, you will be ready. Love and treat each person so well that if it were your last moment with them, you will not leave any unanswered questions. Be the one that reminds people how to smile when they feel like crying. Make an impact today that will lead someone to Christ. Do all this so that when your day comes, you can look back...smile... and say I believe my life is about to change for the better!!!

Christian, I miss you so much baby girl, but this is not goodbye. I'll be coming home once I finish my work. I love you.

I really admire your faith in the midst of the worst kind of loss. Keep hanging on to Jesus and you will be with your precious daughter for eternity!!

Thank you Amy, My faith is the only thing that could get me through this. As I look back and today and forward, I can't explain how I am still here today after losing my child, my best friend and a wonderful young woman. The only way I can explain it is God. Thank you for the encouraging words. They mean sooooo much!!! There's not a day that goes by, not even a moment, that this precious child is not on my mind. Hugs, Sherry.

What a beautiful video and she seemed liked she had her life right and now she is in the presence of angels. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that you will see her again one day. God bless you!

She was the typical crazy teen and she loves God with all her heart. It might sound strange but we used to talk about the things we would do in heaven when we get there. Yes, I'm so looking forward to being able to do those things with her. Thank you so much for your comment, God bless you as well.

I don't know this girl or her family, but this was a very emotional video...my prayers go out to you.

[WebbsWorld]

Thank you for your prayers. I'm very proud of the life Christian lived but I'm even more proud that the life she chose to live led her to spend eternity with Jesus. Knowing that, I have the promise that I will see her again. :)

Wow... came across this by accident. Your first sentence said you didn't make this to cause anyone to cry. Well, you didn't succeed. I had tears down my face. I'm sorry for your loss. I just lost my brother Jan 18....not the same as a child but difficult nonetheless. I always wonder how people come to talk about death with each other? I never have...I guess I grew up in a family that it was "best" to not think about those kind of things. Although if we did talk, I'm not sure what I would say.
