Erin came home for a family party September 19, 2005. Her niece celebrated her 13Th birthday, a big event in a girl's life. Her nephew, just a little guy, turned four on September 11Th.
Erin spent several days visiting friends all over Northern California. She was trying to fit in all these pals she hadn't seen for a long time. When she got to our house, she said she was tired of running around! Erin told us about her friends, many I remembered, other names I had long since forgotten. We laughed about the things they had gotten into in the "old days". Some friends she had lost contact with and couldn't locate.
We talked at length about what she wanted to do over the next year. Erin asked if we would come to Seattle and help her with projects at the condo and "cabin". I would work on the condo, Erin and my husband would work on the cabin. The real term for the cabin was "the primitive money pit".
We spent a couple of days shopping and visiting, making plans. We were coming to Seattle in July of 2006. Erin drove her little rental car to the airport and flew off to Seattle. It was time to go back to the real world. Her vacation was over. Life as we knew it was about to change forever.
