To my grandson on his 24th birthday - I love you Eric

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds, the days we do not think of you are very hard to find

Every morning when we wake, we know that you are gone, and no one knows our heartache, as we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness, and secret tears still flow, what it meant for us to lose you, not one wiill ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill, in life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.

Our family chain is broken now, and nothing is the same, but as God calls us one by one, our chain will link again.

I miss you so much, you are still, and will always be my "favorite grandson".
