Eric, Another Christmas without you. I look at your pictures and so many memories come back. What a beautiful (I know men aren't supposed to be beautiful, but with your heart and looks, you are) child and young man you were. Every day I look at the picture of you on my desk and remember your smile and miss you so much.

Yesterday

Where have you gone since yesterday - and left us lonely here?

Today you seem so far away - who yesterday was near.

No map of ours, that we may use, your journey can we trace;

We only know you've reached your Home and seen your Father's face.

We miss you so much Eric. Someday you'll be waiting for us and the first thing I'll do is put my arms around you and not want to let go, to make up for all of the lost years and hugs we are missing from you now.

We love you Eric, Grandma and Grandpa
