The song was actually written for a college freshman named Laura who Christopher knew, who played lacrosse. Her parents were at the college to watch her game and it was also Parents' Weekend. After the game she got into the back seat of her parents' car when a stray bullet went through the window and killed her. There was a shootout near the college between a couple of gangs and one bullet got away. The person who killed her was caught and sent to prison. He was paroled in 2012.
Not only did Christopher write the song for Laura he also included a picture of her on the album's cover. The song remained on Billboard's Top Ten for 11 weeks. A picture of the cover is provided below along with a YouTube video of Think of Laura.
