This morning
I am at the Greenville, South Carolina airport.
Ahem.
The Greenville INTERNATIONAL Airport.
Waiting for...
a bus.
No!
Really, I'm waiting to get on an airplane.
Fly Away.
In just over 7 hours
my feet will be back in Oregon.
My Aunt and Uncle are picking me up from the airport.

Tomorrow is the funeral.

But, tonight...
as everyone is gathering together
to surround my grieving sister
with their comfort and their loving arms
for this somber event...
we are having a birthday party for my Aunt.
That's life.
