My precious son Eric, My baby… my heart still calls your name the same way it always has. No matter where you are, no matter what this moment holds, you will forever be my son. I carried you, prayed over you, loved you before I ever laid eyes on you, and that love has never weakened—not for one second. Eric, you are deeply loved. You always have been. Every laugh you gave me, every tear, every memory—we are stitched together in a way nothing on this earth can undo. You are a part of my soul. I feel you even when I cannot see you. A mother’s love does not need distance or proof—it simply is. If you can hear my heart, know this: I forgive everything. There is nothing you could ever do that would separate you from my love. I release you from guilt, from shame, from fear, from every burden you carried that you never told me about. You never had to be strong alone, baby. You never had to carry the weight of the world by yourself. I want you to know that I am proud of you. Not because you were perfect—but because you were you. Your life mattered. Your breath mattered. Your existence mattered. And it still does. I love you beyond words, beyond time, beyond understanding. I love you in the morning when the sun rises and at night when the world is quiet. I love you in every memory and every tear that falls from my eyes. Nothing will ever take you from my heart. Rest in love, my son. Be wrapped in peace. Be surrounded by light. And if there is a place where love can reach you, know that mine is there already. Forever your mother, Forever loving you, Mom 🤍
