“He was my first love,” Miranda said of Christopher. “We were young and we talked about everything; having kids and getting married. He died so instantly. It was quite a shock. Flynn’s actually named after Christopher. I wrote him a letter after he died, saying I would name my first child after him and that is what I have done.”
