Casi & Eric

Eric is one of the most even tempered, happy-go-lucky people you'll meet. He is naturally easy going - when you ask what he wants to do or what he wants to eat and he says he doesn't mind and he defers to you, he genuinely means it! He is smart, I mean, seriously, he's a rocket scientist in real life. He's really good at teaching our daughter crazy things like physics or engineering and all the while she thinks it's fun. He has a keen ability to solve problems. I think it is rooted in his ability to see all sides of a problem and probably mostly in his ability to remain neutral. This works for him whether it's a conflict at work or negotiating with a child who is demanding a later bedtime. Along the same lines, he has an insane amount of patience. Where most people would want to walk away and take a break, Eric calmly perseveres. He's very playful and spontaneous with Sophia. I love to be in the background, just watching and listening to the roar of their giggles. They have such a natural connection, with a genuine comfort between them. Eric's always been an incredible source of support for me. From medical school to residency to present day, he's always been my rock. When something difficult happens I immediately think "I need Eric." On the flip side, the first thing that crosses my mind when something exciting happens is "I can't wait to tell Eric!" He's been my best friend for more than two decades. I absolutely, completely, fully trust him. He is more than a husband. He is everything to me.
