I know we still talk all the time but I wanted to publicly say "Happy New Year" to you. As you know, your photo was on my mantle at Christmas (you were right next to Rudolph and that irreverent Snowman card sent by my sister). I remember how much you loved Christmas. Instead of being stressed out this year, I tapped into the Jimmy and really enjoyed myself. I just wanted to thank you for that. I miss you still and wish you could have been here live and in person...but hell, what girl wouldn't want a special angel by her side like you? I still carry your heart with me in my heart and LOVE YOU for keeping watch over me. Be on the lookout! I will be doing more great things this year and I know you'll be by my side Giggling On in spirit. Love always, your friend, Christa Hi Jim, Christa here.

Would love to chat. It's nice to meet you girls. Thanks Annie for your words. This and the death of my sister Dawn(last August..she was 41. Died of a heart attack. I talked to her the very day she died) I talked to Jimi the day before he died) is by far the hardest thing I've ever gone through... Christa... I might have gotten that call from you. My real name is Amanda... Everyone calls me A'me. Jimi called me "BUBBA" He always did. Not sure why,but he started calling me Amanda after seeing me in a little black dress one wked when he came to visit me & we went to Put-n-Bay. He was my best friend & we shared a brother/sister kind of relationship.... we were getting ready to go out and when I came out with that dress on... He said to me..."Where do you think you're going dressed like that?" I never laughed sooooooo hard. It was one of many great moments Jimi & I shared.... I understand what you feel Christa. I miss him everyday. I do something every year on his birthday. There is a pic of Jimi and me in my son's baby book. He would have been Uncle Jimi to my boy Kasey... Just started crying typing this.... Im very thankful Jane sent me this way.... It's nice to have people I can share my Jimi stories with. Thank you Christa…. Would love to chat.

I'm glad Jane sent you my way. I'm thrilled to learn more about Jim from one of his oldest friends. Since he passed I always do something special for his birthday. In May 2006 I went to Ireland in honor of Jim. He always wanted to go but never had the opportunity. I always ribbed Jim about his tattoos and swore I would NEVER get one. Well, after his death I learned Never Say Never so I got a Celtic Trinity knot tattoo in Dublin in his honor. I miss him a lot...but I also know he's around watching out for me. You mentioned getting the call from Jim's dad. I had the task of calling people in his little black book after he died. I called people I knew, people I didn't and told them he was dead. Losing him like this was the absolute hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. At this point, I owe my very life to Jim. I was on the same path and was very close to ending it all too. Love to chat with you more, privately, if you're game. Peace. @Annie - your words are so perfect, so eloquent. Thank you for your friendship, support and understanding. I miss Jim Thompson a lot but I do keep his memory alive. I carry his heart in my heart. Love you! @A’me – nice to meet you. I’m glad Jane sent you my way.

A'me, clearly Jim left a beautiful and deep imprint on your life, as well as my friend, Christa's. It is a tragedy that such a powerful soul would be taken from all of you so prematurely. But the thing that rings very clearly to observers like me is that his "purpose" in life was to touch people deeply and inspire them to enjoy life. How ironic. I don't know you at all, but I know my friend, Christa. I see her tears when she remembers or speaks about Jim. My heart breaks for that sadness, but I know in my heart that Jim is very much still a part of all of your hearts and minds. He is with you all...and THAT is a beautiful thing. It's cool that you found Christa's site - because I know that Jim inspired her to create it and maintain it...which is no small undertaking. It is a labor of great love...for everyone...just like the love that it seems Jim had for his good friends. I hope that your sadness is replaced by some comfort in knowing that he's still smiling and winking at you all, no matter where you are. I wish you all peace.

I knew Jimi almost my whole life... He was my best friend. I think of him everyday and i miss him sooooo much. He was an amazing person and my 1st love. His sister told me about this site and It was perfect. It was nice seeing new pics of him. I took the one of him sitting in the green chair. That was my house. I bet he is smiling over this... I just wanted to thank you for doing this. I got the call from his father while I was on vacation... As soon as I heard his dads voice ... I knew what he did... I lost a piece of me that day. He did have a gift of making people feel liked/love. He always looked a person in the eyes and I loved when he winked at people... It made everyone smile. I miss him everyday. His birthday is next week and It just makes me sad he's not here. Thank for getting this site up and I love and miss you Jimi. Christa…. I knew Jimi almost my whole life… He was my best friend.
