2/18/08 Dear Eric: / Mom
Hello sweetie. It has been one year and 10 months since you left us. Where has the time gone. I still think of you every day. You are still the first thing on my mind when I wake up in the morning and the last when I fall asleep at night. I have accepted the fact that you always will be. It still feels like you were just here the other day......but also that it feels like a lifetime since I last hugged you.
Things here are still the same... we all miss you so much and you are never far from our thoughts. Emmy and Caoilainn stayed over a couple weeks ago and we were looking at your site. Caoilainn just laughed and smiled at all your pictures, but when I looked over at Emily....she was just crying so hard. She misses you so much Eric. I know how hard it is for me to understand this, but I dont know how the mind of an eight year-old works. Lucas and Ethan still mention you once in a while, but Emily will always remember you. You were her favorite Uncle.
I saw your dad and Diane at Emily's birthday party this past weekend and he seems to be doing okay. He probably hides it well like I do. It is amazing how a smile can hide a broken heart to everyone else.
Your angelversary is going to be difficult again this year. We lost you on Easter Monday in April 2006, but this year Easter is in March so it is going to be quite few weeks of sadness between Easter and your angelversary. I wish so much that I could see you once again, but I believe that you can hear me when I talk to you and that makes me feel better.
I love you and miss you so much, my baby. (You may have been bigger than me, but you will always be my baby).
Mom
