Today, his 21st, was a day Erik looked forward to all of his life. The celebration at home will go on with his cake, his favorite dishes, songs and well wishes. I’m sure he’ll be sitting around the table with us. It’s still a sad day for me. The tears keep flowing from my eyes when words should be flowing from my fingertips. There just aren’t any words.

But when there are no words, there is always music. Enjoy these songs. You may already know them all, but take another listen with Erik in mind. In each, he speaks to us and we speak to him.

Happy Birthday, My Sweet, Sweet Angel. I love you infinity.

    Elisa, I read your entry this morning and was thinking of you today. I had a wonderful experience with one of my own guides when I was having a tough time this afternoon, and I hope yours are working hard to help you through the day. You’re doing great work here.

    Happy birthday, Erik!

    Dear Elisa,
    I wish to share with you today two quotations from Betty Kovac’s book, The Miracle of Death.
    “…there is an angle of experience where the dark is distilled into light…”
    -Christopher Fry
    “Death is as Divine as Life.
    Hold them in both hands Kicsi.
    Play with them.
    Balance them.
    This is the Divine Game”.
    -Istvan

    Many, many blessings to Erik!

    Nancy

    Im sorry Elisa. Pain no mother should go through. My eyes teared up when I saw “Halo” That was Kara’s favorite song before she passed. Beyonce was her Idol. I still to this day can not listen to it. Although Sierra ( her younger sister ) sang it at her memorial. Very sad.
    Thinking of you today.
    Happy Birthday Erik.

    Elisa, I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes or so with Erik. I asked if he wanted me to share this with you and he said “yes”.

    A week or two after I started reading the blog Erik and I had a kicked back “chat” about nothing in particular that I can remember. What I do remember was a sense of calm, peaceful friendship. I needed someone to talk to and he popped in while I was reading the blog. He’s so wonderful!

    Fast forward to today: For daaaaayyyyys (4-5-6 days?) “If I Die Young” has been playing NON STOP in my head. The first time I heard it I thought of Erik and wondered if you had heard it yet. Every time I’ve heard the song since I think of Erik. Tonight I just couldn’t take it anymore and said “Please change the station, this is too much!” Well, Brad Paisley “On Line” promptly took over. GEEEEZ! I had just finished catching up on reading the blog and wondered if your birthday boy was behind this.

    I’ve been very stressed out the last couple days and knew I wouldn’t get anywhere meditating so I opted for grabbing my pendulum. I called in my Guides and a couple high level energies then Erik showed up. I could feel the difference in energy so I asked if it was Erik and got “yes”. I asked if he was just passing through or was acting as short-term Guide. The answer was “Guide”. When I use my pendulum I ask my guides to identify their presence and they do with a specific swing so I asked Erik to “…give me a figure 8 or pattern that indicates it’s Erik and our intersecting path.” The 8 didn’t happen but I received a very interesting pattern which he verified again at the end of our conversation. I asked if he would mind answering a few questions on the topics that I have been losing sleep over. He agreed and answered the questions I had regarding a potential new job and the raging custody battle over my kids.

    I then asked Erik about a fragrance I smelled 2-3 weeks ago as I was waking up…cupcakes with vanilla cream frosting (mmmmmmm……!) and after a series of questions I was able to identify that my Aunt Tally was just stopping by to say “Hi”. I thanked Erik for his time and effort, conjured up one of those delicious cupcakes for him and wished him a very happy birthday.

    Elisa, your boy is so wonderful!

    Love you!

      This made my whole week, Shannon!!! Yes, it seems like he’s graduated to “beginner guide” recently. I’m glad you got cupcakes instead of what HE usually sends!!!! BTW, it seems he visits the wonderful souls. What kind of pendulum do you use?

  • Sue

    Happy Birthday to Erik! I know how you feel Elisa. My husband passed away last July and Mon, Sept. 20 was his birthday. It was a very difficult day for me. Take care.

  • Steve

    I want to share that I had a reading with Jeannie Barnes yesterday and I requested Erik to join as an observer. At the end I asked him if he had a message for Elisa (mom) and he basically said that he loved her and that he wished that he had said that more often while on this plane. He also said that he loves how they are both helping each other now.

    Happy Birthday Erik!

  • John

    Happy Birthday Erik…and lots of love and hugs to you Elisa!

    Love and hugs to you and your family. Happy Birthday Erik! My thoughts are with you all.

  • Danielle Notaro

    Hi, popping in to say I am thinking of you and Erik and family. I’ve been busy taking care of my mom since Monday. Knee surgery. Dad still in hospital. I’ll be popping in again. Had a mini-reading Sunday. Reader said Erik says he loves you, sorry he caused you pain. You already know this. Love, Danielle

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I send love and healing thoughts to your folks. Will they be alright?

  • Tiffany

    HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY ERIK! Elisa, we cry with you, smile with you, laugh with you and feel with you. You are not alone. :) Chin up love for this is a good day.

    Love you,
    Tiffany

  • Danielle Notaro

    I think they will be. Tough going for them right now.
    Mom got sick from medication. I’ve been staying overnight with her since Monday. She couldn’t make PT. PT guy is going to come to her today. And then hopefully she will make it there on Friday. It’s a good thing they didn’t let Dad come home yet. It would have been too much. Thanks for asking and thanks for the healing dosage, Doc.

  • Shannon

    Haha! Yeah, cupcakes are definitely better than assorted “boy stench”!

    The pendulum I use is a cone shaped faceted rose quartz that my youngest daughter made into a necklace for me.

    Update on last night’s Erik visit: I figured Erik would check out like my Guides do when I’m done asking questions which was when I typed my note. Nope, not your boy! I was struggling with a very deep and painful sense of loneliness which was probably headed straight for the chasm of depression when I called on my Guides and got Erik in the mix. Instead of bailing, Erik stayed with me for the rest of the night, conversing with me and keeping me company until I fell asleep. I asked him if he had something more important to do like visit you. He said I was his more important thing to do and he would get to you later in the evening. Elisa, he’s with you even when you don’t think you’re getting signs.

    Anyway, back to our visit. I didn’t get the goofball prankster that you and the others here get. I got the mellow, sweet, compassionate, caring Erik that is dedicated to helping others feel better. He chased away the loneliness and kept me out of the chasm. By doing this he helped me to keep my vibration up so I could deal with the difficult things around me rather than be consumed by them. He checked in on me this morning when I woke up and again later in the day when I was working on a Habitat for Humanity job site. He’s playing that damned song in my head again so I know he’s back and keeping me company. His attention is a little lighter and more playful, again keeping me distracted from what I don’t have and more able to focus on what I need to do. I’m so very grateful for his presence and your willingness to share.

    Thank you Elisa.

    P.S. I think he’s found ways to spin more plates at one time. I can’t imagine he could spend so much time with me and do what he does for everyone else too if he hadn’t. Just an observation :)

      That is definitely one of his sides. When his friends, even strangers were in pain, he’d always stay with them, comfort them, listen to them. He has the prankster, fun-loving side, but he also has his deeply caring, loving sides. He loves to hold people close, or just give them a hug and a kiss on the cheek, so prepare yourself. His energy is warmer, too. Instead of the coolness that some spirits have when they touch us (because they need to take away energy) Erik’s touch is warm and there is kind of an electrical buzz. Lately he’s been sending cigarette smoke smells, but that might be Brian, too. When I went to collect Brian’s valuables in his house the day after he died, I saw cartons and cartons of cigarettes standing right next to a box of Nicorette Gum! Erik and Brian used to love to smoke. I guess they still do.

    Old habits die hard? I’ll be making everyone fat with dessert! I love to bake for the people I love and care for.

    Haha! A minute ago I had my knees pulled up and my forehead resting on them. Erik said “My God you have a lot of hair!” and lifted two hands full of it and let is slide out of his hands. I told him he could play with my hair anytime he wants :)

    Love you!

    Hello Elisa,

    I wanted to reply sooner but have been very busy lately and didn’t have time. So I want to say now HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIK!!!! :) I hope he had a good birthday in heaven this year. And I have no doubt that he was there with you all at the table. It’s pretty special to have a party for a passed love one. So I have no doubt he was there with you all. Thanks for sharing about this special day with us all here. You can totally feel the love.

    -Stanley
