I was lucly rto have attended some of your lectures in NYU and the left bforum. Your talk, books and illuminations inspired us all. I deeply appreciate you sharing these moments and reflections with us, it gives us a lot strength and confidence. You are in hearts and minds always.

Erik, I want you to know how much I value your willingness to share these moments with us. It has been quite a wild ride on this blog, but I am grateful that you have brought us along with you through all the twists and turns of the medical journey. I especially appreciate your willingness to be so open and forthright about your pending death and I hope I will, when my time comes, be equally able to be frank and fearless. You have lived your life's hours with gusto and joy and made this a better place for the rest of us. Thank you.

Dear Erik,
I was lucky to attend a session once in nyc in which you discussed organizing in these current super lean labor markets. Your great writings will live for many generations to come, and will open doors to countless inquirers.
I wish you comfort and awareness till the very end.

Erik, thank you for sharing yourself with the world. Even though we didn’t work together, your real utopias project inspired me in graduate school. I sending you my best wishes. Peace, Gina

Hi Erik, I am deeply moved. I admire you most. You have been able to integrate your life and death in a beautifully designed analytical schema of yourself in the Universe. And you are so brave.! Thank- you Erik for this new astonishing display of yourself. I Iam sure I learn some about observing my own sunndurst transformation when it arrives. I am 71.
I consider my self so priviledged for having being near you when I was young and eager and a left activist in Spain. And you were there for me at that moment to discover me the beauty of analytical rigor, and connecting theory and praxis. I was so happy then. You were a milestone in my life.
My father died in 1998. And I will feel an horfan when you die because you have been a second father to me. I shared with you and Marcia, besides, our parenting experience and I felt close to you.. The Waisman Center and all that. My son Lucas was in between Jenny and Rebeca, as you know, and I remember we shared talking about the quasi "religious" experience, you said, of coming out from the child bethroom, after putting them to sleep. Many things so important to me that I knew you valued equally and you shared. And you gave them a name.
I love you Erik and I want to be, and I am, by your side, with you, in this trance. I am and feel with you. I am profoundly sad. But. You are teaching us a great lesson in your last days by saying
you have no complaints. We are so proud of you. You are a grand scientist and you have a huge heart.
All my love Erik and family,
Please don't suffer, but write back if you can

Hi Erik and Marcia
We’re really sorry to hear there are no treatment options left. We are thinking of you both constantly and hoping that these final weeks stretch into months. You are both truly inspiring and wonderful role models and we love and admire you both enormously. We love this blog and it has been terrific to be able to follow this journey so closely with you even though we are so far away. We’ll never forget working with you Erik and the wonderful life changing times we had in Madison on every visit.
Much much love
Janeen and Mark

Dearest Erik, You are my favorite stardust. I am not a religious person, but if ever my stardust with yours meets again, I'd like you to autograph another bottle of red wine for me. With gratitude and love, Szonja

Dear Erik

Thank you for your posts. Thank you for being a model in life and work. Thinking of you, like yesterday and tomorrow.

Erik,

Thank you for your posts. I will never forget you--so long as I remain alive. I should say "we," because I'm sure everyone else following you feels the same.

Thinking of you, Erik. Hoping for comfort for you!
