"General Hospital" star Kristina Wagner described the photograph that was part of her Instagram post. "The picture was taken by my mother, Carolyn, while we were on a road trip to Montana in 1997. Peter, Harrison, and I try our skills to balance on a log," she wrote. She explained that her mom obviously whipped out a camera and snapped the picture without telling them. "I wonder what her thoughts were at that moment," she mused.
Feeling that the last couple of years "have been the slowest period I have ever lived through," she pondered that it was probably for the best. "I don't take each day for granted. I fill each day with meaning and purpose the best I can. I approach daily events with curiosity and love." Realizing that finding "clarity" in the face of unbelievable heartbreak takes a lot of work, she always keeps Harrison in her thoughts. "My son Harrison travels with me — not just in my memories or in my grief — but as my guide. Because of this, I experience joy in a way I never dreamed possible," she wrote, adding that while he appears to be tagging along in the photo, "in truth, he now guides me on my journey."
Co-star Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) responded, "Beautifully written, a beautiful reflection of a moment in time." After Harrison's death, the Wagners created The Harrison Wagner Scholarship Fund to help other young men who are struggling with addiction.
