Remembering One of My Favorites

Two years ago today I got a horrible phone call that shattered my world.  My (at the time...now ex) boyfriend's little brother was in a car accident and passed away on site.  I'll never forget the feeling that came over me when I heard the news.  It was gut-wrenching and heart breaking.  Eric was one of the sweetest, most loving, loyal people I've ever met.  He was just barely 20 years old when it happened - he still had his whole life ahead of him.   Not a day goes by that he doesn't come to mind at one point or another.  He was just like a little brother to me.  We had our own dinner dates and inside jokes and did each other favors when we needed them.  I could always count on him.  We talked all the time about life and where it would take us both and the work it would take to get there.  I miss those talks and times together - but most of all I miss his smile and his hugs.  The MOST sincere smile and hugs I've ever known.  I know that he is looking down on those he loved and is watching over them.  Today I am not sad about losing him, I am at peace knowing that he is one of my angels. 


Eric, I miss you and love you forever.

  1. So beautifully said Amber. I know that he thought of you as his sister. He loved you so much. You were always there for him, helped him with homework always spoiled him with yummy treats as a good sister would <3 He looks over you too every day! He is that bright star on a dark cloudy night. He is the full moon that lights up a nights sky. Love you !
