Since the loss of you,
I’ve learned to live for each day
And take it as a blessing,
Knowing it may not always be this way.
Since the loss of you,
I’ve learned that when everything goes wrong
To never give up on what is right
Because it can only make you strong.
Since the loss of you,
I’ve learned that even when you’re in a lot of pain
You’ve got to hold yourself together
So you won’t feel like you’re going insane.
Since the loss of you,
I’ve learned how to hold the tears when I want to cry
Because all I have is memories
And just want to ask God why.
But mostly, since the loss of you,
I’ve learned a life can be taken in the blink of an eye
And only Heaven really knows when
That person will have to say “Goodbye.”
Erik we loved you dearly, you had a very infectious smile. You were like a brother to David. You will be so very much missed
So sorry for your loss. He effected my life in such a positive way. A wealth of knowledge that is greatly missed.
