I am so happy I got to spend time with my cousin Eric over the summer this year. After not really spending much time with him for decades somehow the universe brought us together during a pandemic nonetheless. We had a nice barbecue and swim at my parents house. I especially enjoyed playing games in the pool with Charlie and the other kids. I was also lucky to get a phone call from him later in summer when I returned back to New York. I was surprised and delighted over how much he wanted to talk. We had at least an hour long conversation talking about everything but mostly our family. Eric seemed immensely private to me and I know he was emotionally hurting. I’m sorry he had to go through that. Now he’s at peace. Amy, Charlie, Aaron, John, Mary and everyone else reading this please know that I love you.
