Ernesto Janet Kuypers 3/24/17 As my mother lay dying on the other side of the country, I tried to get a flight so I could see her one last time. But the ticketing attendant said she couldn’t help me, that I couldn’t buy a ticket because of hurricane Ernesto. So because this hurricane was spiraling through my mother’s town, our lives were spiraling out of control as we tried to brace ourselves for losing our mother, and picking up the debris from a disaster we couldn’t control.
