---I wanna say this now so hopefully you guys will have the time to read it before things get super crazy with the holiday week almost upon us.

I have learned ONE honest and brutally real thing this past year. That thing is to love with all you got and NEVER be afraid to tell the people you care about that you love them too.

Reach for the sky, for tomorrow may never come.

I just wanted an extra 30 seconds with Den, 30 seconds to say thank you. Thats all, not goodbye or anything, just thank you, thank you, because along with my Mom, he showed me what true love is. I didnt get that chance, so please, dont ever be afraid to tell those that matter that you love them. Sure, I have a pocket full of memories, some are good and some are bad, but they have ALL taught me to say I love you.

I hope this Christmas you run into family or friends you dont see all too often and you get to catch up with them and you are able to tell them you love them. If youre a real man you can do it. A real man can show his feelings. This isnt prison where you havta act all hard like stone or a rock, these are people you know and may love.

Please tell them, you never know what the future brings.

So, that is my Christmas wish, for all of you to be able to tell those that matter that you love them if you can.

My gift to you is just as simple. Im giving you the gift of love. I love you guys, OK? Please dont ever forget that. Sure, weve had arguments here on this crazy blog over politics and music and the like but none of it matters, because of the bond we share.

Enjoy your holiday. Merry Christmas and I love you

Your brother, Eric---

Right back at ya old man,
I'll be thinkin' of you this season. I'm sure it'll be tough, but try to dwell on the positive memories, not the "wish i did's" or "wouldn't it be nice's"
love

yeah, my Mom and I are already going to start some new traditions to carry on in our lives so we can move on, but at the same time know Den would enjoy them too.

Thanks Eric, I too have been thinking much about this same topic as of late. Must of which my thoughts are around the idea that with age and responsibility it becomes so increasingly difficult to get your love out to family and friends. It is so easy to put off just saying hello when the act of doing so becomes a bit of a chore at odd sleepless hours. I am very thankful for the opportunity to continue or friendships here on the old OMI blog.

Yeah, you guys mean a hell of a lot to me. Losing Den has taught me a lot in a very short time and one big thing is to cherish those you have around you, hold them close to your heart and never let go!

Yeah, and why does it become so much harder to tell people you love them the older you get?

I dont have a huge problem with it, well, I do a little when it comes to family because I dont like 95% of my family for things they have or have not done, but with you guys its easy for me to express my emotions.

I dunno, maybe Im just a little bitch or somethin, hah.....
