Eric's Girl

I'm posting this because, on my previous video, it was too hard to read the poem I wrote to honor my daughter's relationship with her dad.
The most painful part of Eric's death, besides being forced to watch him die, is how much it has hurt my daughter.

She accepted her high school diploma in the mail, because she was unable to attend graduation without him being there. She refused to get married, because she could not see anyone but her father giving her away.
She's not a weak person. Being forced to watch him die affected her in an intense way, which I believe would happen to anybody.

Anyway, I wrote the poem to emphasize how positive her relationship was with Eric. My main satisfaction was that she liked it (she has it in a frame on her wall).

Beyond that there is no "closure" on this issue, only a long series of attempts to live despite what happened. Which I intend to do, if for no other reason than to spite the idiots who killed him.
