Going Away

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.
