Happy (belated) Birthday Erik! Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of the birth of Erik Haagenson. I celebrated with you in my heart of hearts.
On this magnificent day I have a few thoughts that I would like to share with you:
1.You, more than any single one of "us," are a leader. Despite being younger than some, and a peer to others, you have been able to lead us into many great adventures. You make things happen, and "get it goin'." I will be forever grateful for so many memories.
2.You, in the face of great adversity, seek to be a safe place in the midst of a storm. You look towards love in the face of sickness, and hope in the face of grief. Keep walking that path, it leads to great beauty. You have been an inspirational figure in my life, more so than you will ever truly know. Through many long seasons of darkness in my soul, you have been a great light.
3.You have an amazing eye for beauty. Your pictures move me, and I look forward to having many of them on my (our?) walls.
4.You are a man that I treasure fiercely. It feels strange to call you my brother, as there is nothing else, in this world or the next, that you could possibly be.
I love you Erik. Happy Birthday.

Thank you Aaron. You've made my heart feel glad, I appreciate it. Where in the world did you get such a sweet picture of me? I have been trying to make that face in the mirror all day and have come to the conclusion that the photo must have been taking after some sort of blow to the abdominal region. Also, I got chilli'd for my birthday, I will tell you about it later. Love you Aaron.
