Aunt Merica

Solomon is often comparing his life now with his before life. I am always so touched by his perception and what he chooses to share with us. Tonight he began what I thought was another heart-felt comparison while I was putting away autumn and taking out Christmas.

Mom. Merica has that.

America has this. What does China have?

Pause. Confusion.

Do you mean Aunt Erica?

Oh, Aunt Erica.
