Two years doesn't make it any better.  Still miss you Mark.

Miss you this Christmas.

After years of no contact, Mark and I were beginning to re-connect with texts, emails, messages and the occasional 3 hour conversations at Panera Bread when I would visit MD.  Not enough time but I treasure the little time we had.

I've already written one tribute about my Dad and I will give a speech at his celebration of life. But the thing about my Dad is I'll spend the rest of my life talking and writing about him. He was that influential to me. He wasn't perfect, none of us are, but God did he try. I always knew I could count on him. I can still count on his strength. I miss calling him. But I speak to him in the stars. I speak to him in the sky. I speak to him always because he was my best buddy. I love you Dad, talk to you soon <3 -Eric
