6 Years ago tomorrow I got a terrible phone call , my cousin Eric had been in a horrible car accident. His car had rolled a few times and slid on the roof for a few hundred feet. He had to be extracted from the car. He was severely injured.
This was a HUGE trial for our family, it effected every single one of us. Eric was on life support for a week. Everyday there were a swarm of family members in and out of his room. We all rallied together for him and especially for my Aunt Judi. Even with this terrible tragedy , I feel it was a blessing that we had that week with him. We were able to resolve any hurt feelings , forgive and forget past mistakes and words.
Growing up we had a very close relationship, as all of the Harris cousins did and still do. We spent many, many summers together. Either in our pool, Gramma and Grampa's pool at the lake or on the river . We spent a alot of time together. Eric was one of those guys that could make anyone laugh. He was very funny and very talented. He left behind the sweetest little girl and the light of her Gramma's life, Sylvie Lynn.
I know Eric is in a better place and at peace. I know someday we will all be reunited with him. I am so thankful for the many memories I have of him and thankful for the time we all got to spend with him while he was on the earth. March 10th marks the 6 year anniversary of his death. He will forever be missed and loved.

I love that song so I'm sure it was really sad to hear her sing that song at his funeral.
