You are a HERO to many. You were just my little brother. I cannot believe all that has been happening for the last week or so. It seems like you are being honored everywhere. I am getting ready to go to Wash DC in a couple of days. Nervous as hell. I feel like I am going thru your funeral all over again. The pain is still too real for me. I am still hurting. Does it ever stop?

I had Met Eric several years ago at a night club. When Eric came up to me he seemed like a very outgoing, funny guy to be around with. The first thing he told me was that he is a police officer, and how much he loves his job. Eric and I starting talking trying get to know each other. We clicked so well, but just as good friends. I would meet up with him and his friends and see him act like a goof ball all the time(especially when he was drinking).During some holidays when he had to work, he would stop by my house and we would hang out and laugh for a little bit or go get an Iced coffee.Eric was a very happy person.I remenber when he was in the process of buying a house in the Pilsen area.Eric was Trying to convince that I would be the perfect tenant for him. I told him he would like coming over to party with my friends and I. I had lost contact with Eric for a while. The last time I had seen Eric was in the begining of Jan.2006.at Sangria night club. We were so happy to see each other it had been a while. In feb. I happened to turn on the Television, fox news and I see Eric'c picture and that he passed away showing his family and friends in a memorial service for him.That was a very sad day for me. I only wished I found out sooner so I could have said good bye. Who would've known that time at Sangria's was going to be last time I would ever see him. Eric these memories that we shared, will always stay in my heart.RIP

Guess who? I am having a hard time this week. Going to Springfield to honor you and others that have passed on in 2006. I am happy and sad. What can I say. I still can't believe that you are gone. Sometimes I feel that I have no more emotions left. I wish that I didn't have to do this....go to Springfield and DC. But I have to be there to honor you and represent the Solorio family. It's not fair..... Life isn't fair!!!! I miss you. Love you baby brother. PEACE.

I'm glad someone left a reflection... I check this often and wanna leave a message almost everytime I'm on...but you can't read them.

Know that I love you...well, you knew...know that I'm in love with a ghost...you probably do...Life has been so hard...pointless...I'm looking for a new purpose, a new drive... our love was our inspiration.

Im mean to people sometimes (me!! buddhist me!!) because it hurts so much you're gone...I'm very mad at life...baby, if you're around shed some light...make me strong (I'm doing okay sometimes...can you see-probably not : ( Miss you alot. You are the most amazing person I met. I can't believe my love and bestfriend is gone. Te amo and you are always on my mind....this might be the last one I post because I don't wanna post grievances...especially when its YOU I want to see them. I owe you nothing...I gave you my all in life...we spent ALOT of time together...it's sad that's there's no more. Que sepa la gente that you were the Mutherfuckin SHIT!!! and that it's still Eric's world biAAAAAATCH! (oh wait, can I swear on this...I should be able to it's your page)!

I'm hating life without you! : ( But one day if this afterlife exists I will see you again!!
Love you, miss you ALOT!!!

Eric with a C

I couldn't remember where I was last Super Bowl; it was the last day I saw and talked to you as you, and I guess my mind just blocked out the pain out for me. Miss you man...devestated that there ever was a last time I talked to you.

Thought things were going to turn out so much differently. It would have been a struggle though. I just knew if anybody could do it, you could. I was ready to get in there with you and your family, to get you beyond the blankity blank "injury", and on with your life and all you wanted to do. So much drive in one person. A wheelchair would not have stopped you from leaving your mark on this world.

I can accept now that you probably wouldn't have been happy in a chair. Maybe even terribly depressed or hopeless. Yeah, it's probably just selfish of me...but I want you here for yor Mom too! I know you didn't want to leave her.

You're perfect now, in heaven watching over all of us who miss you. I know you are with your Mom, siblings, and partners everyday. You didn't want to leave us.

Eric, will I ever be able to believe you, you! are gone? Over the summer, I found myself foolishly wishing you would just come back on the year mark.

See you soon.

Ditto...to your reflection Richelle!! I just came back from the mass and STILL can not believe your brother is gone!!! One whole year!!! The memory of our relationship and the closure and love we still shared that i saw evident in his
hospital stay are still with me and will probably never fade....I won't forget...I can't but do have to move on! Your brother is the most incredible person i have ever met and you know what...he got it from his father! ...I dreamt of a life with him... your dad as a father in law and little by little that all slipped away.... I feel helpless... your brother was an example to many! An inspiration and my desparation... i lost your number...please call me if you have mine! I think of your brother everyday...day and night! Night and day... i mean look at the time of this reflection (if it posts)! I can't even sleep! I want to move on!! i want to continue my life...the memories hold me back sometimes! Let it be known to everyone that the Solorio family are the greatest people I have ever encountered! God rest your soul Papacito and may you R.I.P too Richard! Look after us all! I've mourned enough! Please help me move on!!! I love you now Eric forever and always, papi. Descanse en paz y ayudanos! te extrano un chingo! I will overcome this!!! thank you for the memories ; )

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of when you left us. It is time for me to go back to living again. Living without you in my life just doesn't seem real. I don't want to go back in time and relive all the time spent with you in the hospital and your last moments. It is just to sad and hurts me tremendously. I don't know why it all happened the way it did. I don't think it matters anymore. God has given me the strenghth again to get through the pain I have felt. I guess you were put on this earth to be a role model for all. Your generosity, kindness, helpfulness, optimism, strength, spirituality, confidence,humor and love of life will always be remembered, Eric. You always strived to be the best at everything you did. I could see you just needed to be accepted by everyone you came in contact with. I have known you all your life. I remember when our dad took me to your house to meet you when you were about 6 months old. I thought you looked just like me when I was a baby. I guess we both resembled our dad! I have watched you grow up into the man everyone so loved and always will. I never told you this but I was proud of you. I hope that me being there for most of the important events in your life showed you what I couldn't say. I know that you came to me often to ask me questions about our family. I treated you like the little brother that you were. Being 16 years older than you, I had a hard time relating to you. You wanted so bad to be my equal, but I wouldn't let you. I am not sorry for how things were between us. I taught you how to have respect for your elders. But I did encourage and support you with regards to the BULLS and BEARS teams. I took you to get autographs and attend games. I listened to you constantly when you talked about WWF wrestling. I never discussed with you about being a police officer. I didn't really want to know about your job. I never realized that your job would cause your death. I guess I thought you would be here forever. The city of Chicago & the Chicago Police Department were very priveledged to have a HERO like you. There will never be another ERIC SOLORIO. I love you my dear baby brother. I will never forget you and will always miss you!!! Time heals all hurt. It is time for me to move forward and enjoy life as you have taught me. Until we meet again in HEAVEN!!!!!!! PEACE OUT.
