We're all still missin you like crazy! Welp, since 2morrow is your 18th birthday-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I know you would've had some good times if you were still down here with us. I'm definitely goin to wear orange for you 2morrow hun!

We got our yearbooks today! You look very handsome in your picture! There are a couple of pictures of you in there actually. And in the back, they have the memory thing for you!

You are truly missed!

Once again-HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!!

I'll try n write here 2morrow!

We miss ya kid! (Same with you Robert)

Hows it goin up there? I'm sure you are the life of the party..=O)

But newayz-I still make it a point to come n read this every day...I haven't exactly been havin the best past couple of days-I'm not sure anybody has..let alone the past couple of months-things are still rough-we still miss you like crazy..nothing is the same..I saw your yearbook picture-you look so adorable. We were lookin thru one during 6th hour-and we got to ur picture-and everybody just kinda got quiet-and we just stared at it...it was weird.

But newayz-every time I hear the song "Times Like These" or "The Scientist" or "Hear You Me"...and of course "Time Of Your Life"...i'm at a loss of words...not sure what to do..or how to feel with all of it..i'm sure that is how it's goin for a lot of people still..

I'll check back l8r hun.

We love ya n miss you XoXo

Tell Robert we all miss him 2..

I'm sure you already know that Robert is up there w/ya now..so do us all a big favor-keep him company up there n you guys both keep lookin down on us..

Almost a month Eric...that is insane. And I'm not sure where to even begin. We all think bout you all the time-that will never change-trust me. You are in are hearts always and forever. I'm sure everything is better for you up there. I saw this guy in gym today-who has like the same hair as you-and at a quick glance-i was like omg..then he turned around. It's insane. He could be your lil bro. We love you Eric!

Both you and Robert will always be in our hearts and prayers.

Much Love
Jess

i never thought i'd be thankful for walking into a door, but i am. who knows where i'd be now if i hadn't. who knows what kind of pain i would have put our senior class through.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I though of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s
gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

It's been a while...so I just figured I'd write on this thing again. Well, we still miss you like crazy. Nothin has been the same since you left. Everything is different. I hope you are doin pretty good up there. Keep a good watch over your parents and the rest of your family-they need it-as do the rest of your friends. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't hear at least your name mentioned...or a funny story about you and what you did...you're goin to live on in our hearts forever.

I found this quote...it made me think about a lot of this..: If u have 2 go, don't say goodbye, if u have 2 go, don't u cry, if u have 2 go, I will get by, someday I'll follow u n see u on the other side*

We love and miss you Eric!

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light,
It never ends and if I'm right,
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Oh, I believe

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most,
See that I believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am,
'Cause I believe

Oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And I believe

--Diamond Rio, I Believe

God Bless!

the weather has been kinda shitty lately and ive thought of Eric alot these past few days.....I was always told that when it was rainin it was Gods tears....so I wondered...was Eric up there cryin with God?? Was God sad that Eric joined him way to soon?? Was Eric sad that he wasnt down here with all of us??

I guess those are questions that will never be answered but whenever it rains Ill think of Eric.
