Eddie isn’t suffering anymore. He’s left the physical world. But his love and spirit will live on forever bc he was such a force. Such a light. I’m so broken. I love you all. Thank You for ALWAYS being there.

I told him what a freaking badass he is and how there are so many wonderful people out there that are thinking about us and are behind us in this fight! All ❤️✌🏻🙏
You guys all good with one more day of shooting off Eddie pics? I can’t stop! I like reliving so many moments in my head. This wound is fresh. But I want to look at them!
Rest in paradise buddy. The words will flow tomorrow. But it’s impossible to say anything that could do you justice. I’ll give it my best shot though. Gosh I LOVE you. ❤️🙏
I had to take a walk. I need a miracle. Please. I know I can accept whatever the outcome. I’m just not ready to. Please please please stay with me buddy❤️🙏
I’m all honesty these last few days have been rough. I appreciate you all do much. Just the fact that so many of you care about this kid means a lot. We’re battling. All ❤️✌🏻🙏
It hasn’t been the greatest day. Eddie’s struggling at times with his breathing. We’re staying diligent on respiratory treatments but it’s still a constant battle. All ❤️✌🏻

I’m reflecting on shit I completely forgot about! And laughing. And crying. I was so freaking fortunate to know him, let alone be his dad. I never wanted him to feel like he couldn’t dream big. I tried so hard to make him realize that different didn’t make him less. I LOVE U E!!!
My eyes match my shirt. I look like I’m stoned.😂 Tears are flowing. Time to celebrate Eddie. I have to to put my tie on still… but got my RED!

This is the ONLY time I’ll address this stuff. To you few who message me telling me it’s weird I keep tweeting pics of my dead son… I honestly wish you could’ve met Eddie. I think if you did you’d understand why I’m so compelled to share his light and spirit each day. ✌🏻❤️
Have I mentioned that I miss you every second of every day and I feel like I’m losing my mind w/o you? Bc that’s where I’m at. Mercy. I miss you dude. This hurts.
It’s hard to see but Eddie was able to stand today with some assistance! This is HUGE!!!! The recovery process can be slow, especially with how complex his issues are. So we take small victories and appreciate em. Eddie’s whole life has been a battle. But he always fights! 💪🙏❤️
He absolutely will not let setbacks stop him from trying. They were going to let E rest but he wanted to do OT/PT and sit all the way up. Freaking love his attitude!💪🙏❤️✌🏻
Whatever is best. I’m at peace with whatever happens. Im tired of him suffering. I’m so proud of the fight. Eddie is so special. I love you buddy.❤️And I ALWAYS will.
I know I don’t have to ask this bc I know you are. But please keep those prayers and well wishes coming. We could use em. I’m really worried about Eddie.
I’m at the funeral home. Had to take a walk. This is easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But on the bright side, I saw Eddie. He’s free from any O2 cannulas! He’d be excited about that😥
This was exactly one year ago today. He was so sick yet I always felt like he’d eventually get out of the hospital. I struggled coming to terms with the fact that it was going to take a miracle. He was ALWAYS so positive so it was hard to process. Gosh I freaking miss you buddy💔
Just one more video I wanted to share today… This is one of my favorites. Well not necessarily favorite but most impactful. Eddie was very sick in this video. But his spirit NEVER wavered. I’m so thankful for the time we had together. Today is hard. But all ❤️ and Happy 🦃 day!
It’s kind of hard to gage from looking at these pictures but Eddie is not feeling great at all today. I can really sense some frustration and sadness that we’re still here. I told him I get it! It’s ok not to feel good all the time. This isn’t easy!❤️✌🏻🙏
I miss the training sessions. I miss him motivating me by just watching him. I’m just sad. I feel so empty. He was such a force. He NEVER backed down from challenges. This still doesn’t feel real.
I hope I’ve done a decent job showing gratitude to you ALL. Bc I have a lot of it. A shit ton❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️You ALL made Eddie feel important. It was fun for him to spread love. It’s what he was fantastic at!
Thank you. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. I’ve always been a great teammate but I’ve NEVER needed to be the center of everything. So putting stuff out there about my personal life wasn’t something I’ve really ever done before. I’ve only shared a small part of me. I
I can’t believe it’s been 4 months today since you’ve been gone. It’s absolutely impossible to put into words here how much I miss you. I can’t even see straight typing this bc I’m so broken and tears just flow when I start thinking about you. I love you. Always will buddy.💔😢
I appreciate you all for not getting burned out on seeing Eddie in your timeline. It’s a small way for me to keep him alive. Among other ways ya know?… but thank you. All ❤️✌🏻🙏
He slept the whole time my mom was here. You can just tell shit isn’t easy. He’s weak from being in bed so much. Mercy. Please! I just want him to be ok🙏
Today was a nice celebration of Eddie’s life. There was a lot of love. It was nice to see and hear from so many different people. Tomorrow Eddie will be laid to rest. Good night. All ❤️🙏✌🏻
Gosh. He was so sick here. I feel terrible. I hope I didn’t push him too hard to be positive all of the time. 🤔 Like he masked stuff bc he was always smiling. He didn’t have to be strong 💯 of the time!
This picture was taken 25 days ago. The one on the bottom is today. This speaks to so many things, mainly resilience. A f*cking resilience that I’ve never even thought about. It’s so crazy to me. I used to think I was tough in college catching a ball over the middle. Right🙄
