Dear Journal, Our son Chris has lived a very confusing life. No one really understands his way of living and no one probably will for he is no longer living. I don't think he should have made the decisions he made for his family and especially I myself am filled with grief. We all miss him and feel that it is somehow our fault. I should have been there with him and guided him better, its my fault he's gone and I miss him so much. I just hope that he was happy with what choices he made and with where he is now.
''Many people have told me that they admire Chris for what he was trying to do. If he's lived, i would agree with them. But he didn't, and there's no way th bring him back.. You can't fix it.'' -Page 203 ''They still smell like Chris.'' After a long beat she declares, to herself more than to anyone else, ''He must have been very brave and very strong, at the end, not to do himself in.'' -Page 202
The epilogue was explaining the visit that Chris's parents made to the bus in which he died at. Jon Krakauer tagged along with them to observe their reactions. His parents were very suprised when they saw what the area in which he stayed looked like, they realized how he must have liked the area for it was so beautiful and quiet. They silently observed the surroundings and all of Chris's belongs. To close their visit they left a note with flowers at the entrance to the bus and left in silence happy that their son was in a better place.
