These You Tubes and his MySpace music and the CD's are all that's left. Eric died on April 26, 2008. Official cause of death, pulmonary embolism complicated by brain seizure. I find these difficult to watch, though family and friends cherish them. It's ironic to me that the last line in the song in this vid are about being led to an early grave, when he doesn't even have a resting place.

This started me crying, I feel overwhelmed for your and lissa's loss of eric.
I loved the minor notes he started singing half way through, really added emotional depth. But like a line he wrote & just sang --- choose your ground.
Ty for posting the video, such a wonderful thing to have of him for both you and his baby girl.
11:09 again, Can't imagine how gut wrenching that is, lissa wanting, needing, to connect in some way with her daddy and the sad angry conflict of quietly trying to give it to her.
Your being a wonderful nuturing presence in that little girls life Pat, just keep in mind how proud and thankful he'd be for all you do.
Hugs, I wish you great peace, calmness, tonight and for all to come.
Do you ever have dreams about him? When one of my closest childhood buddies died suddenly aged 36 I dreamt he came running up to me all excited saying "It's so beautiful here! I can't wait til you get here!" It was so real, and he looked great, like he was 20 again or something. Crazy, right?
I'm not a believer but after that, I could never shake the feeling that there might be something after this, and if there is, my buddy Dave will be there to show me around.
Thanks for posting that for us. I can't get the vid you posted here to work, but I checked out everything at his MySpace. Judging by all the comments he was very much loved and is painfully missed.
Once you get that other matter resolved, then the healing can begin. Please take comfort in knowing that he's in a safe and loving place, and one day you will see him again. I know a lot of people don't believe in an after-life and have their doubts about where we go from here, but really, death is just the beginning. I almost died myself a couple of years ago and I know that our existence here is only fleeting, and a very small part of the big picture. Your boy is in a good place and is closer to you than you can ever imagine.
Take care of yourself and do what you need to do to get some semblance of closure from all of this. In finding your own peace, your son will also find his.
Yes. Shooting Star was blasting from his computer on a loop when he died. It also played at his funeral. I can't listen to it yet. I thanks all of you for your comments. I won't rest until he is laid to rest, with a proper marker.
DD- I've said this before, but I'm so so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. Especially when it seems like it was so sudden. You are blessed in that you have a living legacy of his, his daughter, who you are such a loving grandmother to. She, despite losing her father, is very lucky to have someone like you in her life to show her how wonderful her dad was.
I don't know why I feel compelled to share this, maybe its a life/death, circle of life thing, but April 26th is both my mother and nephew's birthday. I know this year on that day I'll think of you as well.
i'm, sorry for your pain too. i don't know what to say. can only marvel at your ability to keep functioning. i know the pain will never go away, even though i don't know the depth of your pain, and, selfishly, i hope i never will. i hope you get a proper marker for eric soon and its good that you have garnered the strength to start fighting for it, doing things for eric can only bring you closer to him. his absence and the silence it brings must be beyond the most painful thing anyone can endure. ALL my love.
Im new to this site & I dont mean to reopen a wound, but can someone give the background info concerning Eric,Lissa & DD? Im not intending for this to sound cold or an intentionally disrespectful question
It's not disrespectful. Eric is my son, he died in April. Lissa is his daughter who I always post about on Sundays. Lis spends a lot of time here with me. Thanks for asking.
Dishy, Lissa's "step dad" Alex seems like such a fucking loser....he gives me the creeps. Gives me a feeling, just please make sure he's never left alone with her.

It made me cry too and Lis is here saying she wants to see her Daddy sing and I'm having trouble watching it.

Hey, Dish, you're in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry DD.

My best to you.

DD,
I've been reading here for at least 2 years. I read EVERY DAY, and I've never posted a single word. But I had to tonight.
I am, so, sorry.
You and Lissa are in my prayers (I know your feelings on that..) But I just wanted you to know, for whatever it's worth.
You've brought me so many laughs over the years.. I sincerely wish you and Lis comfort. She is such a precious child. ..Everything -will- be ok.
DD.
Sobbing here for you. I am so sorry for your pain.
i still tear up when i hear 'shooting star' on the radio and i think of you pat...
:hugs: to you and lissa!
Yes. Shooting Star was blasting from his computer on a loop when he died. It also played at his funeral. I can't listen to it yet. I thanks all of you for your comments. I won't rest until he is laid to rest, with a proper marker.
