Reflections for Police Officer Eric Solorio

ERIC,
Merry Christmas!! Missing you as always. Still have the Tequila you gave us 3 years ago for Christmas. Maybe Rosa and I will do a shot for you. Life has been okay. But you already know that. Please send some love and peace my way, I sure could use it. Tell Dad, Renee and Ricky, Merry Christmas!! Love and miss you all terribly.

I just want to give my deepest condolences to family since we both share almost the same name. A short poem I offer.

To Officer Eric Solorio
"Deep you shall be remembered
As an officer of the law.
The bravery and courage, the pride
Of an officer that you show,
Shall be in our hearts, like a kindling light
Will burn;
Forever it will stay to guide us and guide us
No matter when."

Thank you,
Eric Selorio

Happy Birthday, Eric. Missing you! Hope you, Renee, and Ricky are all celebrating your birthdays with Dad. Wish you were still with us. Please help me to find peace with all that had happened to you. You told me to forgive and not blame "her" for what happened. But I can't do it. Life stopped for you, but life goes on for her.

Missing you always. Life is okay. Wish you were still here. Chicago needs good cops. You were one of them. Remember what you said to me once, when I asked why you wanted to be a cop.....You said you wanted to get all the bad cops. Hmmmm, so ironic all that has happened since you are gone.

Often, I wonder how your Mom is doing. How are your sisters doing? How is your TRU team doing? How's your main partner doing? How is Sarge doing? It's just so sad and terrible when someone like you gets ripped away from all the people you touched. I miss the laughter and conversation you created. Yes, I miss your smart, yet intriguing, mouth!

Every now and then, I'll see a convertible black 300Z.

It still makes no sense that you're gone from us.

I worked so far from the hospital. I really regret not breaking the hospital rules and trying to see you more often after work. I just thought you were going to make it.

You are missed. I know that I'll see you again though. Till then...

HEY ERIC,
WHAT CAN I SAY THAT I HAVEN'T ALREADY SAID. THIS IS REALLY A TOUGH DAY FOR ROSA AND I. WE ARE HURT, ANGRY, LONELY, SAD, EXHAUSTED, BLAH, BLAH... THIS REALLY SUCKS!! YOU SHOULD BE HERE TO ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. WELL I GUESS YOU ARE ENJOYING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH EVERYONE ELSE THAT COULD NOT BE HERE ON THIS EARTH. AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, ROSA AND I ARE DOING FINE WITH OUR LIVES. WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD WITH LIFE AND HAVE MADE SOME GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS. BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS, OR HAD A HAND IN THINGS? I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOU DID....BELIEVE ME I TRY TO BE POSITIVE EVERYDAY. MY HEART HAS BEEN BROKEN SO MUCH THAT I KIND OF LIKE MY HEART THIS WAY. MAKES ME MOVE FORWARD WITH MY LIFE AND TRY NOT TO LOOK BACK. I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON I WAS 2 YEARS AGO. THAT WOMAN IS LONG GONE AND NEVER COMING BACK. BUT I LIKE THIS NEW PERSON I HAVE BECOME. I HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS. I HAVE SURVIVED THE HELL THAT I HAD TO LIVE WITH THE LAST 2 YEARS. FOR SOME REASON I FEEL FREE. FREE TO BE THE PERSON I NEED TO BE. THE PAIN THAT WAS BESTOWED ON ME HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THIS. THE LOSS OF MANY LOVED ONES HAS MADE ME BE FOREVER MORE SO STRONG. I CAN'T BELIEVE I STILL CAN FIND IT IN MY HEART TO HAVE LOVE IN MY LIFE. I AM NOT AFRAID TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. I DON'T WANT TO BE SAD AND CRY ALL THE TIME. I WANT TO BE CONTENT WITH THE LIFE I HAVE CHOSEN FOR MYSELF TO LIVE. I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU LIKE HELL. I HAVE THE REST OF MY LIFE TO LIVE....SOON ENOUGH THE NEW AND IMPROVED WILL EMERGE AND VOILA! HERE'S TO YOU ERIC SOLORIO THE HERO TO MANY,BUT JUST A BABY BROTHER TO ROSA AND I. LOVE YOU MUCH AND YOU WILL FOREVER REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS. PEACE OUT!!

Eric, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I choose to focus on the positive and happy moments of your life. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. I guess that was God's plan for you, huh? These past two years have been so hard of everyone, especially our family. Its nice to know that people still remember you. How you touched or changed their life - and even in death you are still making a difference. That's all you ever wanted to do - help people. I will always and forever be grateful that God choose you to be my brother (my baby brother) and me as your sister. We were a family. Our time was together was too short in this life. I always wish I had more time...but then again, it was never about quantity with you - it was always about quality :)
Love you!

On this 2 year anniversary of your EOW, we come here to remember, reflect and heal.

Please keep a watch over your Mom, Sisters, Brother and Lili as they continue to heal, one day at a time. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of your family over the past year at various events and memorials. You should be so proud of how strong they are and yet deeply miss you. Please comfort them during this rough time.

You are a True Hero and will not be forgotten!

love you, love you, love you , LOVE yOU! And boy do I miss you, miss you!! I'm learning to live with the pain of your loss and actually find some new knowledge and hope from the whole experience...SOME (i was told I would but never thought I'd be able to see anything positive from this loss). New wisdom, new friends, lost some people I HAD to get rid of, and well you gave me more resilient skin and new jokes! :) Dark jokes but jokes nonetheless. I looove you Eric Solorio!! The same as when you were here...because you still live in my heart and mind :) As your 2yr anniversary approaches I just wanna say thank you for the memmories and I still love you very, very much just like the first day I discovered I did :) you completed me and now you've given me a new task as I look to complete myself....miss you baby! hope to see you again one day ;)

Tomorrow is January 17th. Our sister Rosa's 40th birthday. The day of the end of your demise. How is she supposed to be happy when look what she has to remember. How awful that is. I am sure that she has mixed feelings as well as I do. The only positive thing that this day brings is the fact that it is our sister's birthday. I will TRY not to remember what happened to you on this day and just focus on the fact that it is a special birthday for Rosa. She will be 40 years old. Wow! I will make a concerted effort to genuinely be happy on this day, for Rosa's sake, and nothing else. Well I hope you, dad and Renee are singing happy birthday to Rosa and having your own little party in her honor. PEACE OUT MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!

Wow, tommorrow will be 2 years to your accident that eventually took your life!! ERic!! you meant and STILL mean so much to me a "lover" and most of all my absolute best friend!! To this day I HAVE NOT been able to get over all that happened between us and your death!! to this day i can't believe that you are not here!! you meant so much to so many and I think thats wonderful!! And like the reflections say a brother, coworker,lover >:( , and friend to all!!

We are all silently hurting from your loss and YES life can be very,very unfair!! BUT who ever said it was fair? Life is suffering ,as your loss has shown, and this is the worse growing pain for me ( and you know I've had many)!! I'm really trying to focus on the growth aspect: the wisdom, the strength, the memory of a great friend and love :) But at times the pain is soo much!! On this 2 yr anniversary My heart/mind is thinking of you soo strongly as it usually is and I wanted to tell you that you have NOT been forgotten nor will you ever be while your family and friends are still here! te quiero mucho con todo mi corazon y te extrano un chingo!! Dancansa en paz mi amor
