Wonderful tribute Keda!
You have me in tears.... what a touching, loving tribute. The song wouldn't load for me, but I will try again.
Thank you for introducing us to Eric. He would have totally loved you babe!
and i him! he was a funny, lively and caring young man. who couldn't?
A wonderful, thoughtful tribute. You really brought something of yourself to this project, which I think is the point. Interesting about the coincidences around the name Eric. It’s the kind of thing that directs you. Your tribute is a positive beam through all the sorrow, remembrance, and realization of September 11, Keda. Thanks. I’ll think about Eric.
Lovely tribute, Keda.
Very cool tribute,
I have an Eric too
in my house. My son.
Thank you for posting this personal tribute to Eric. He is not a number but a person. Wonderful post.
Please stop by my tribute to Gilbert and leave a link and comment so that others can come here to read.
Wonderful tribute. Thank you!
God, just when I was trying to give up emotions! Hotboy
What a lovely tribute to a good guy. You did such a nice job of combining your life and his.
And thanks for stopping by my blog and reading my tribute to Maria Rose Abad
What a great tribute for a kind and loving man. His family, friends and loved ones carry his memory with them. Thank you for introducing him to us.

My fiance and I share a blog together, and he did his tribute to Sara Elizabeth Low. It is here: http://ebyzandgunz.blogspot.com/
Keda,
Well, your moving tribute to Eric quite rightly sent me back to do a much better job on mine.
I also went through the kind of day that gave me a little better perspective. As it went on, I found myself dwelling on a thought expressed by your exemplary countryman, David Bowie: "I never thought I'd need so many people."
just sublime keda. thank you for introducing eric into my life. wonderful song too.
Lovely Keda--and the vision of you talking about him to your daughters is touching and reminds me of that fateful day and my daughter who was 3 at the time.
Thank you for that tribute to Eric!
God bless him!
Beautiful tribute, Keda. You brought Eric to life for me, and left me just a little sadder on this sad day. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Just beautiful, Keda. Thanks for telling us about Eric. He sounds a lot like my husband.
Thanks for stopping by my tribute to Billy Johnston, who was a great guy and a true hero.
Hey Keda,
Thanks for your thoughtful words on this young man who had so much to give. It sounds like his memory will live on for a long time with his family and friends, but it is nice that others can read his story.
He would have been pleased to know that he touched others long after he was gone.
P.S. double thanks for the Adam Ant post below. I loved the link to his YouTube videos. Dirk Wears White Socks was one of my favorite albums.
It's always hard to explain death to a small child. My son was just a 1 year old on 9/11. I told him that a lot of new angels had arrived in heaven today.

This is a very lovely monday memory and a tribute as well.
Visiting sites with tribute makes my heart bleed for all the victims and brings tears to my eyes as I recall all these young people losing their lives to something beyond their control. These cruel people who caused the tragedy just didn't care about these innocent lives, lives with yet unfulfilled dreams, lives who may have been depended upon by their loved ones. My sympathy goes to all the victims' family of these Sept. 11/2001 tragedy. My heart will always have a special place for all of them.
Thanks for visiting.
I think the convo with the kids was simply the perfect capper to an otherwise lovely read. Thanks, Keda.
Wow. My goose bumps are casting shadows across my arms. To me? the most important of all things is to help our children realize that there are names attatched to those victims of this day, and to have those humans residing in our hears for always. You've done so, and beautifully. thank you.
A beautiful tribute, thank you for participating in this project. I am honoring five, please stop by if you get a free moment.
I'm thinking, "what a sham". That's right, not shame but sham that you, who oppose holding those Islamic fundamentalists responsible for Eric's death are paying tribute to him.
You are connected by ether? Or have you been inhaling it? I was there, about 1 mile away when Eric and a few thousand others died. Eric wouldn't want you posting comments that his country went to war "hiding behind terrrorism", as you put it in looseleafnotes.com. He would be angry and proud of his country, and he needs his family and fellow countrymen, not foreigners "connected by ether" to pay tribute.
And by the way, I also have twin children, and I will not rear them to be self-absorbed, unpatriotic, transient humans without values.
[sob]
sweetie - you have done Eric justice...just beautiful.
and the Love-lets are so sweet.
Goodnight, Eric

Thank you for sharing Eric with us. Very nice tribute. Such a sad moment in America's history.
thank you for stopping by.
Nice post, babe.
Isn't it amazing how people can come into our lives even when their own has ended? Beautiful post my dear.
My God, Keda. That was beautiful, thoughtful, eloquent and heartfelt. I am in tears now as well. I am reminded of my first visit to Compassionate Friends, a support group for parents whose children have died. When I walked into the room, the collective sadness was palpable. A man came up to me and embraced me, saying, "Welcome to the club noone wants to belong to."
Hugs to you and the twins.
Thanks for introducing us to Eric. I was very touched by this.
A beautiful tribute for an amazing man written by a tender & eloquent lady. Thank you sharing and keeping his memory alive.
May Eric Rest in Peace...and God Bless.
Excellent tribute. Just a little note to say I've been busy but am still alive. Off down your way this weekend so things should be back to normal when I get back..
i'm rather late but thank you for sharing him with us. his eyes just sparkle with mischeif and fire don't they?
I ask myself, when will the world learn to value human lives, when will we learn to feel real empathy towards each other?
Thank you for introducing Eric to me. I feel that any remembrance on September 11 should focus on the lives lost on that day, nothing else.
exactly!
and yes he does have great sparkly eyes doesn't he?
thank you for all the kind comments. my heart goes out to all the friends and families in these difficult times.
What a wonderful post. Thank you for that reminder.
And I have about the same relationship with my SCMs as you do. I hear you are going to visit. Perhaps we should discuss our SCMs.
School in London huh?
Keda, thgis was such a BEAUTIFUL Tribute...and reading his Mom's joyrney was so touching and meaningfull...this is very very dear and wonderful...You made Eric come alive for me...Thank You, my dear...
lovely post dear! Thanks so much.
Thank you for that touching tribute. My husband worked with Eric at Aon and you truly captured the essence of who Eric was.
Beautiful tribute and I'm touched that even across the globe, people are being remembered and shared from 9/11
good job keda for teaching your daughters about death and not fearing.
Beautiful words. I find hearing about others actively remembering those lost to be the best kind of tribute.
