Jo had given me Ryai’s number, and I reached out to her. I wanted to fly her out here so she and Erin could have that time together, and she could witness her cousin get married. She told me she couldn’t make it, and I had no choice but to respect it, because it was short notice, and she couldn’t just drop her life and be there. I half expected that she would for Erin though, and from the stories Erin told me, she had always been there for Ryai.
