Here and There

Erin's picture
I went home last month with Eric cause my mom was in bad condition. She died about a week later and I went back home for the funeral. I haven't really written anything about it just cause.... to busy or whatever. But I took this picture on the way back to Japan. It is important because,when I took it I said "... man mom will think this is a cool photo with the blue to black of ........" YA that is when I realized that I could not show her. Through the whole thing going to Florida the first time with Eric and seeing her in the hospital, to coming back for the funeral. All through out that whole 5 days it still did not sink in.... though all of the talking, hugs and crying from relatives. The beer and whiskey. Staying up late waking up early. Seeing her at the wake and Father Enrique's wonderful sermon it just did not sink in, till somewhere over the Barring Sea 12 katrilion feet off the earth and away from home. I realized.
