The Eric we all know and love...

I just had to blog this morning to share some of the humor we all love so much about Eric. My last 2 blogs were very true but Eric has challenged the blogs like I would expect him to :) We have had a lot of conversation the last 12 hours and that would include through the night. Emily didn't get a good night of rest. Eric called her one time and told her to smile and then took a picture of her with his phone. He played a couple of pranks on her as well and I think he kept the 3rd shift nurses busy as well. I shouldn't admit this but I slept through it all... exhaustion must be my excuse. After this last week, we have enjoyed this time with him. This morning we decided to have a major project of cleaning the room, moving around the furniture and "keeping Eric awake" so that when it is dark outside, we are all sleeping. I hope this blog brought a smile to your face as some of you remember something like this when you've been with Eric. These words are not meant to change the real reason we sit here waiting for God's calling but it does create memories that we will cherish forever. Hang in there with the prayers... we get strength from others who hold us in prayer. Thank you... Gwen

I am so glad you are able to enjoy some lively
moments. Laughter and fun is a great way to build memories that all of you will indeed cherish for the rest of your lives here on earth or in heaven. Laughing will help you keep Eric's fun loving spirit alive in your hearts forever. I do believe Eric will also keep the fun loving spirits of his family in his heart forever as well!

I'm thinking about you many times a day!

In Christian Love and with MANY prayers!
Cindy
