It's over :(

This day must inevitably come...the day our player leaves us to head home. It's a sad day for us, we lose a friend, a roommate, plus the entire baseball life. It doesn't help that we didn't know for sure that it would be today until the beginning of the game last night. I think we "knew" but it's not any easier. So, Eric finished loading up his truck this morning around 8:30 and as much as I tried to contain myself, I just couldn't. After helping him (a bit) get a few things packed up and taken down, he started to pack his cooler and as I brought some drinks in from the fridge, I dropped one and that was enough to push me over the edge and start the crying. What a wimp I am! Just the thought of him leaving was too much and I tried to stop but poor Eric had to put up with my crying as he got ready to leave. Eriq had to head to work before Eric got up, so he wasn't there to say goodbye either so I wished him a teary goodbye by myself and he headed for the bank and then hit the road. So far, looks like the only thing he left was a travel alarm clock, not bad for living here for a few months and packing in less than a day!
I miss you already Eric!
