My Dearest Eric,
You were one of the few people I knew that really lived his life. Although you only had a little over 20 years on Earth, you lived them better than many 80 year olds. You were an excellent athelete, great friend, kind young man and precious son and grandson. We all miss you in ways many of us cannot express. Something left our lives the moment we found out you were gone. It can never be replaced and you will never be forgotten. I didn't realize how many lives you touched until the day of your funeral. You had something special, so special that not even I have "it" and I am your mother. I would have switched places with you in an instant, alive or not. Your life was so much bigger than mine, that I would have loved to have had your life. Your death is such as loss that I'd trade places with you in a minute. I know you would have cherished life so much more than I. My life is so much dimmer without you and that magic and shine that glowed from you onto me is gone forever. A day has not gone by since you left us that you have not been missed so dearly. You see, I have lost my son, friend, comedian, love of my life, and reason for living. A piece of me died forever on 8 Feb 09.
It was my pleasure to be your mom. For those 20 years I had, I am forever grateful. I just wish I had more of them. With your passing, the world has lost a very good man. You have been a blessing for me and the rest of our family. I would choose you, I would choose you, over and over again, if I were given the opportunity to decide who I wanted to be my son.
You have always been the best part of me. The best thing I have ever done in my life is to be your mom. Thank you!! You made me so proud. My heart will forever have a large place that belongs only to you.
I love you, but miss you more!
Forever Your Loving Mom,
Linda
Not Forgotten
Wherever you are I want you to know that you have not been forgotten and never will be as long I have breath in my body. Every mother was not as lucky and blessed as I was. They did not have you as a son. I knew exactly what a treasure I had in having you as my precious son. How do people expect me to live without the most special person in my life? I still have not figured that out and realize that this is a life sentence. I will forever have a large hole in my heart that belongs only to you and someday with this life sentence is served, I will see you again. There is nothing anyone can ever tell me to make this better. I can only look forward to that day when I see you again. I love you, but miss you more & vice versa.
Rest in Peace, baby....
Your loving mom, FOREVER!!!
Happy 23rd Birthday!!
My precious son, for many years I have told you just how much you mean to me and that will NEVEr change. It doesn't matter where you are or I am. I will ALWAYS love you AND now miss you more. I have expressed my love to and for you every single time we talked on the phone, emailed, texted or face-to-face. I am so proud that I was chosen to be your mom. It is and always will be the best job I EVER had and wanted. I hope you are smiling right now and with great pride declaring that this is my mom's real Mother's Day, for this is the day she had ME!
Forever your Mom. Happy Birthday my one and only!
Freedom
My dearest son,
Since you left I have many days I feel like I am trapped in a very small room with no exist. This room is dark, painful, and lonesome where my only companion is grief. Grief seems to never want to leave my side. I realize it is a life sentence that I MUST serve and there is no pardon or parole for me. Freedom will only occur when I see you again with that bright smile and open arms. That is the day I will truly know freedom again. Until then I will continue to serve this lifelong sentence and someday with good behvior I will be set free and be with the most precious person that ever entered my life. For now, there are no exits, no freedom...
I love you and miss you more!
Forever your Mom
With Love Today
I thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
I thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
I think of you in silence and
often speak you name.
All I have now are my memories,
and your picture in a frame.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
A part of me went with you
The day God took you home
Now I feel all alone.
I LOVE YOU, POOKIE BEAR!
ALWAYS YOUR MOM
Dear Son
It's been a few years since that tragic day. Physical tragedy brings pain and suffering, but for us Christians there is a supernatural strength that brings me hope, courage, and joy to keep perspective the reality that since we are immortals in the will of God, our meeting in Heaven is waiting for us: yes, one day we will be together again. It is my blessed hope, and because we were saved in this hope,
I eagerly wait for my new body, bodies that will never be
sick again and will never die.
I willl forever love you, but miss you more.
Mom
YOUR BIG LIFE IN A SHORT PERIOD
Wherever you are, CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE, as short as it was, it was bigger than many people I know that aRe more than twice your age. Such a BIG personality with a short life. What a loss to the world, your family and friends.
Love you and miss you more. Vice versa too.
Forever your Mom,
Linda
You are gone
Dearest my precious son, Eric.
I find it so hard believe that tomorrow will be 2 years since you left us. You will forever be in my heart as long as I have breath in my body. You are truly the most beautiful and incredible person that ever entered my life...and now you are gone. That leaves such a large whole in life and beart. i always told you the you were my heart and my angel. As of February 8, 2009, I actually and litterally believe that now. My heart is broken because I cannot hug and kiss you anymore and now you really are my angel. At this point, all I want is peace for you, no pain, no sorrow, no heartbreak and the purest of happiness. I know I will see you agin and that is when I will expeience the purest of happiness once again.
Just because
Hi Baby,
It feels likes its been many, many years since I have last set my eyes on you. I just miss that smile of yours. I miss your smell, your hugs, just you. I really don't know how I am getting through my days without you. I am being told I am strong, but I am not. I die a little bit more everyday I have to live without you. You were and always will be my world. I love you more than words can express. So there is no need for me to type anymore in this tribute, except to say I am lost without you.
Forever Your Mom,
Linda
I need you, where are you.
Hi handsome son,
it's coming up on two years and i don't where the time has gone. It feels like yesterday. My emptiness in indescribable. You were my world and it has ll been taken away form and I am supposed to as as it nothing happened or "get over it". Well i say you are me and I am you. You will never leave my side. Death cannot separate the love I have for you. You were everything I wanted in a son and so much more. It's so sad that you are not here to enjoy som any wonderful things tha have happened. I just miss that huge smile and the big firm ,hugs.How am I supposed to live wiithout that? I dont; know and only time will tell. l miss you so much my precious angel. How do I live without that. you were meant to me my child and I was born to be your mother, except now I am a childless mother with a giant hole in her heart just wishing for one moemnt with you. I hope Heaven is all people sand the Bible say it is, for now rest inpeace until I am able to join you. I LOVE you so much that it causes pain in my heart.
Fover you loving mom,
Linda
