Two Auroras

On July 17 with a storm approaching and lightning striking, I stopped and picked up a young couple pushing a baby stroller leaving a state park.

Van chat on route to their cruise ship, revealed the husband had just graduated from a Utah university, they were moving to New York City for his new job.

The wife was from Aurora, Colo., and their baby, was named Aurora.

Three days separate joy and sadness with Aurora for me.
