Christopher Paul O'dell Yoder was born on July 26, 1988.
Father: Paul Yoder
Mother: Marlene Maple
Paul was with me at the hospital during my 3 day's of labor and was present during the delivery. Paul was the first one to hold Chris while doctors finished up with me. I was in the hospital for roughly a week due to a lot of blood loss. When Christopher was a month old, Paul asked me to marry him and I accepted.
Things didn't work out with us and we never ended up getting married. We may not have been able to work as a couple, we did work as friends and continued to be friends. We lost contact throughout the years for a while and then got in contact again in 2000 for a short time before we lost contact again.
Paul got to talk with his son Christopher and Christopher got to talk with his father. Chris was too young to remember Paul when we went our separate ways. I wish Paul could have seen Chris face to face before he passed, he would have been very proud of his son.
Chris is 6' 2" and has blue eye like his father. Paul and Chris both have this strut when they walk. They can be blocks away and I can tell that it's them just by the way they walk. Christopher graduated from the Napa Valley College receiving an A.A.S. Degree in Mathematics. He is considering going to Sacramento State College or U.C. Davis sometime in the near future.
I wish that I could find his grandparents so that they could see him again. Chris was a little over a year the last time they got to see him. If by chance Paul's parents read this, they can find me on Facebook.
Paul will be missed greatly.
