Eric Jon Forrester

The last couple of days I have been feeling BLAH, anxious, overwhelmed, etc. I feel like I am standing still and everything and everyone is moving forward without me. Even when I have managed to do something productive its like I've been sitting on the couch watching someone else jump up & down to entertain 4 preschoolers or wash dishes frantically before company arrives or sweep the bucket of sand off the floor someone brought in from outside. Its due to a few things but mainly I've been reflecting on this past year, a year with out my cousin Eric. Its hard to believe a year ago our family was faced with such a huge tragedy. There have been a million little reminders around me of the amazing young man Eric is and how he is not physically here with us. Its been amazing to watch how strong my cousins and aunt & uncle have been. But its been tough on them and everyone in our family. There is hole, a void that will never be filled until we are reunited as a complete family. I am grateful that Easter is during the same time of year to remind me of the eternal nature of families and of our existence. I am grateful for our Savior's sacrifice so that we can be together as a family again. I love you Eric and am missing you!
