things I never got to say

Dear Eric,

Today I went on a long bike ride and got to thinking.. There are so many things that made you "you" that I loved about you. I miss our inside jokes. I miss saying things that only YOU would get. I started thinking about some of these things that I appreciated about you that I may not have gotten to tell you:

•Mmmmbabe
•Byeeeee *Stu from The Hangover voice*
•The way you would play the same song over & over (and still not get sick of it)
•“jew don’t know how to talk to somebody”
•“put some socks on”
•Falling asleep with the TV on
•Making fun of me for being a tree-hugging hippy but then always picking up trash off the beach
•Your edginess – never going with the crowd
•How you would make forts for Max out of blankets
•Banana pancakes
•Naked Sundays
•Making me do push-ups whenever I would break my New Years resolutions
•Peanut butter dreams
•SOTB
•Your robot voice
•Glatheths
•Your thoughtful gifts. You really listened.
•The way you had relationships with my family outside of me.
•Waffle House
•The way you would never talk bad about anyone behind their back or gossip.
•Putting clothes on Max and taking funny pictures
•Prank wars (these never ended well for me)
•Tickle time
•The way you called me your babygirl and your angel
•Your competitiveness and the way you gave 110% to anything you did
•The way I always felt safe when I was with you. We could be stranded in the middle of nowhere and you could get us out of there
•The way you Velcro everything
•Echo Mike Charlie
•The way you would always ask the waitress what their specials were, make her go through all of it, then order spaghetti
•The blue sheet
•Moto GP is cool *nerd voice*
•I’m making Dominoes for dinner
•“I can’t do it, can you just do it for me?”
•Joe Rogan
•The way you always put the toilet seat down
•Your lists & your organizer
•Our songs to Max
•The way you always took videos
•Watching you surf, wakeboard, box, or play softball. Sexy!
•How you would let me cut your hair and give you silly haircuts
•Going on tropical vacations during hurricane season
•Gangster rap
•I’m training to be a cage fighter
•Movie montages
•Food fights in the middle of restaurants
•Getting tickets for playing music too loud in your truck
•The way you always say “yes please” or “no thank you”
•Big booty Judy
•“Survival of the fittest”
•Your sarcasm, wit, and sense of humor
•Your hugs. Your kisses. Your warmth.
•The way you could make anyone feel comfortable and welcome, especially in awkward situations
•The side eye!
•“you can’t just put pineapple on something and call it Hawaiian”
•Your complete trust and faith in me

This list could go on and on, but these are just a few of the things I loved and miss about you. So much of you has made me who I am today. I am a better person because of you. I feel blessed to have had you in my life for nine years. I wish you eternal peace my love.

Love Always,
your babygirl~
