I just want to let everyone (all my family & friends) know thankful I am to have you all in my life! All of you and Ill get this to the many of my buds who arent on Facebook! I feel so blessed to have do many close friends and a wonderful girlfriend who love me and often lean on me for support! Im especially so deeply touched at how many thought of me when my beloved idol, Joe Cocker passed away! I have two very special close friends, Elliott Tuffin who runs the fan group Elliott Tuffins JOE COCKER FAN PAGE and Lorri Elle Ortwein, who was also very close to Joe! I feel bad that they themselves are at odds right now, but I love them both equally and refuse to take sides when they refer to each other in not always so nice ways! I tell them we all loved Joe and Ill listen but wont comment much or take either side! In addition, I want to thank all my newfound fellow fans of Joe from Elliots group, whom so many are fascinated with me and bring them so much joy and inspiration to want to do similar stuff! I want thank my wonderful parents for turning the most difficult kid ever created into what so many people love that I have become! I pray for you constantly, Ma Erickson & Dad Erickson I am the luckiest boy in the world to have strong, healthy immensely hardworking, supportive and fantastic best friend, like you who also happens to be the best and most amazing example of human existence I know! I feel so privileged to be able to call a man like that — you, Dad! I love both of you more than youll ever know and am so sorry for how much shit I have you both as a child and will spend the rest of my years attempting to redeem myself! God bless everyone who stuck by me and supported me through my 12 hospital stays from February 9, 2010 — October 20, 2014, as I finally found tolerable, and effective treatment! I am so sorry for all the worry I put my family and especially my parents through! I also want to extend my warmest and dearest thank you to all the wonderful clientele, especially Ellen Flowers and Dietrich Kulze, of Tewksbury Hospital where I spent 467 days, September 7, 2012 — December 16, 2013! Ellen is thrilled and in constant communication with me regarding me eventually being employed with them! They are my 2nd family and I love them all dearly! Anne Borkowski, another very dear to my heart staff member there contacted me, as soon as soon as she heard Joe Cocker had passed! She wanted to make sure I was okay and we talked on the phone for almost an hour! Compared to what my existence once was, I actually sometimes feel luck the luckiest, most blessed person on Earth! I have all of you — I mean ALL of you, to thank, who stuck by me through thick and thin, disagreements, arguments fights, temporary disconnects with more than a few of you most precious members of my inner circle! I love each and everyone of you, no matter if we budded heads or not! I wasnt well much of the time and your devotion to rallying around me, most notably when Joe passed touched my heart with such an overwhelming love, that can never be truly returned! Thank you, I love you and treasure each and everyone you so very, very much! You are all my heroes! Your much devoted and forever grateful, Ryé
