Memories of fireworks and Erica have been on my mind today. When we were growing up our immediate and extended family used to gather for a Fourth of July celebration. This usually included hot dogs and burgers on the grill, mom's homemade ice cream, and some chilled watermelon. When the sun set the fireworks came out. I was always a little afraid of getting burned by the fireworks. Not Erica! Erica loved to light the fireworks. Sparklers, Black Cats, you name it, the louder the better. Erica always enjoyed this holiday. Now, it just seems empty without her. My memories of fireworks include my sister and I'm missing her today.
