Erik.. there isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of you. It's been almost three years but yet it feels like you were just here, sitting at my table, laughing with me and teaching my kids how to play poker. You have the best laugh! I miss hearing your laugh so much. I miss seeing you smile and watching you delight in every little thing my kids said and did. Man, you are such a good uncle.. such a good kid with a good, solid soul - full of life, love, compassion, and joy! I wish I had told you more how much I loved that about you and how much I appreciated and loved how much you loved and showed love to me and my family while you were here. I miss our talks. I miss being able to call you and knowing you'd always pick up. I miss you. I miss you I miss you I miss you! I miss your hugs and really wish I could get one more really great big long one to hold onto in my heart with all the rest that I'll always hold onto and never forget. Forever young you will always be.. and forever smiling with that young face full of "what's next!?" I will always carry of you with me.. you got there first, and I don't know when we'll see each other again - but I do know we will see each other again - I look forward to the day when I see you standing there, open arms smiling and laughing, excitedly waiting to tell me all about what comes next.
I love you, little brother.
