We love and miss you as much today as we did then and that will never change.
You and your brother will always be our precious boys.
You didn't like to pose, but you should have with your handsome big old fashioned face.
We miss that lovely tummy that you always managed to keep looking so white.
We enjoyed taking you on walks around the fields so you could check out all of the strange smells.
Love you forever Eric.

Has it been so long? We remember them well, so many wonderful stories about their lives out of doors, all their adventures. You were loved by many, Eric, and also, Flynn. We send comforting pawhugs to your parents, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been that long. We so miss you Eric and Flynn too but so glad that the Mom has continued to blog.

ReplyDeleteEric! You were the man-cat which all other man-cats tried to be!
ReplyDeletePurrfect in every way. You are misses

My human and Sparkle knew Eric but he had been gone a year when I was born. Purrs to you today as you remember Eric, and Flynn.
ReplyDeleteWow, five years since our beloved mancatly pal Eric had to go to the Bridge. We miss him very much, too. Purrs and love to you, dear friends.
ReplyDeleteWasn’t that face magnificent!! None like it. But then everything about Eric was special, wasn’t it. How we miss him! We love him like family and we, indeed, feel like he is family. Thank you so much for sharing him with us.
ReplyDeleteWe hope he is near today to feel all of the love his friends have for him. All of our love always. Hugs.
What a gorgeous boy.
ReplyDeleteFive years ? Oh Eric - you were indeed the mightiest of mancats and we miss you so much.
ReplyDeleteAh! Bless!x And..That lovely white tummy...!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless! God Bless!
Oh Angel Eric....you've been gone five years today. I know every single one of those days you have been missed so much and even though your brother Flynn has joined you at the Bridge, you and Flynn live on FOREVER in the hearts of all of those who loved you but most especially your Mom and Dad.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs from afar..........

It doesn't feel like 5 years since I love seeing his photos. He was a large cat who lived large,fully and happily. btw we're honoring our angels today as part of the big spring post. Sending purrs of fond remembrance xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow can that be? Gosh Jackie - thank you for sharing the time with your lovely boys. Even now the old photos still make us smile. Such cheeky boys with adventures to do every day. Best of all though were two sleepy boys perched in their flower pots. Such special memories.
ReplyDeleteLove

We sure miss you Eric and your brother too. You boys and your adventures always made hearts smile everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Eric, but what a handsome cat he was. Sending you warm and gentle thoughts as you remember him today.
ReplyDeleteFive years already? It really doesn't seem that long. We miss both the boys' adventures, it was always so much fun reading about the mouse-catching and tree-climbing, pot-sitting, and so on.
ReplyDeleteLots of purrs and hugs!

How has it been five years? We miss your boys, but nowhere near as much as you must. Sending big purrs and hugs to you as you remember.
ReplyDeleteWe can't believe it's five years We miss both of your sweet boys.

The missing of them never leaves that's for sure. How I always loved the coloring of his nose furs. Made him look like a person :-) . He was certainly a character and we so miss that personality when they leave. Sending hugs and love and nose kisses,

When you said 5 years I thought no way, but I do know the way as in August it will be 5 years since Abby joined Eric at the Bridge. We never forget no matter if an hour has gone by or a decade, the silence and the emptiness is still there. I know that we all find a way to move forward, well like we had a choice, right? But we do, I still feel for myself that I can't let go of the 'missing' part. I still miss her, so deeply. But I do tell myself as each day passes that I am moving one day closer to our reunion, not in a maudlin way but in a way that I am looking forward to -- one day somewhere in the future. I am so glad that you continue to share Eric and Flynn with all of us. I love reading the stories and seeing them whenever you post. My heart goes to you with deep prayers and purrs.
ReplyDeleteI regret the five years ago, I didn't know Eric or Flynn existed but so wish I had. Sending comforting purrz today as you miss your handsome boy.
ReplyDeleteI remember that day as if it were yesterday and I cannot believe it has been 5 years already. Oh my. We miss that sweet boy too. Sending you both (((hugs))) and much love as you remember and every day catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteBeautiful boy.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of purrs and hugs xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, beautiful boy he was.
ReplyDeleteI always loved looking at photos of Eric and Flynn cavorting outdoors.

That was one of the saddest days we ever experienced. We still get teary eyed thinking about it. But we so appreciate and thank you for sharing past photos of the boys. It really means a lot to us.

Wow, five years. We know you continue to miss your sweet boy and will always. That was a terrific belly he had. However did he keep it so clean while rolling in the dirt? Sending love and prayers as you remember today. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
ReplyDeleteEric will always live in our memories, and Flynn will, too.
ReplyDeleteEric was a handsome boy. We never forget those we love. XO
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel. The end of this year will mark Skeeter's 10th OTB year. Sometimes I feel is is just out of sight in another room. And once in a while, I call Marley "Skeeter". ~ TBT
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you again, dear sweet angel Eric. You will never be far from our minds and hearts.
ReplyDeleteEric and Flynn were larger than life. That much is obvious from the pictures. I feel the sense of loss too - no new adventures, no complications of brotherhood, no new ways of showing how much they love each other and you. You do an incredible job of sharing them with us - I want to meet them so badly. Thank you for sharing your boys with us. Your pictures always add a smile to my day.
ReplyDeleteAllthough we never have met you, it feels like we have known you through the writing of your mom, dear angel Eric <3 It's good to have all the pictures and memories, miss Jackie, not that it takes away the pain though... He was a beautiful handsome boy and we have something in common, the always clean belly...MOL :D Soft Pawkisses to comfort you today <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWe're glad your mom hasn't stopped blogging and is sharing your photos and memories. That way, you'll be having fun at the Bridge, but part of you stays right here close to all of us. - Tom
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been 5 years already. Sending extra luvs your way from Me and the gang this week.
ReplyDeleteMarty's Mom
That was beautiful! And that was a lovely perfect description - he did have an old-fashioned face!
ReplyDeleteFive years already, yet so well remembered. Eric and his mancatly face. I recall his passing, and it still makes me sad. But they never leave us, even when they go.
ReplyDeleteI never got to know Eric, but what a great mancat he was. Glad that you have all those precious memories to cherish forever.
ReplyDelete((((( ♥ )))))
Aww, his face was so precious!
ReplyDeleteI remember both boys so strongly... and I miss them just as strongly. I am so glad that Caro came to see you before she went on back to her own home and I asked that she please please take a photo of the boy's gardens. And to tell you I love them. It was a joy to see the both of you and then the selfie with all three.
ReplyDeleteRemembering Eric on this sad day.
