News on Eric
I went to see Eric today and Craig went with me. He was awake... very alert... and waiting on us to get there. His Mom had told him we were coming and he was excited. As soon as I walked in his room...there was that wide eared smile... he winked and said "hey Jen" ..... oh my God.... I about started crying... I was SO friggin happy he knew me...and Craig...AND was up..alert...talking...and even had some "Eric Humor" We told him how everyone .... all the semi's... were so very concerned about him and he is talked about almost every day. We threw out several of your names and he recognized YOU ALL! He is on some heavy meds so it was difficult for him to stay awake for an extended period of time. We chatted with him until he drifted off to sleep but before he did I gave him a BIG hug and told him it was from us all. he has lost a little weight and grown a full beard. He is holding his own at this time. We talked with his Mom for a while after we left his room and told her of all the semi concern. She has attempted to get on the boards but couldn't quite get it figured out. She did say she would give it another go so she can talk to you all. She is one fantastic lady. A real angel like Eric always said. Catch up with you all next week when I return. Take care.

Dear Jennie/Craig - It was
Dear Jennie/Craig - It was so nice to see your post about Eric, it brought both a smile and a tear at the same time. I've often thought about him and wondered how he's been doing, so thank you for the update. I'm so glad that you both were able to visit him. Take care, Cynthia0 -
Jennie and Craig:
What an incredibly difficult visit that must have been for the two of you, filled with smiles and I'm guessing some tears. It must have brought much comfort to both Eric and him mom that you both thought of him and took the time to visit and offer all our best wishes and love for him. It just shows what caring, good, people you are.
Thank you for sharing - Tina0 -
