25. In the last few years of her life, Erin started taking up some hobbies as she really started to explore who she was and what she was interested in. One of these hobbies that she really enjoyed was crocheting. She spent a lot of time doing it and got pretty damn good. More than just the actual crocheting, she really loved to be able to make things for people. There are many people out there who have an original “Erin Danhi” and they should know that she put a lot of love and care into those things that she made. I was lucky to have a few scarfs of my own. This is a picture of a couple of those scarfs, along with some works-in-progress that she had been working on when she died. When I see and hold these, I can see her on the couch, curled up and watching TV, usually with Layla pressed against her, and a pile of yarn and her latest creation in her lap.
What a beautiful way to honor Erin on her birthday. Thank you for continuing to keep her spirit alive and always sharing your love for her. Your words are genuine and thoughtful, something she always appreciated. The coffee mugs were a Christmas gift from me, with the thought you guys would each have one. She could not wait to use them, Lol. The pure vulgarity alone was enough to make that mug her favorite! Love you Aaron, I think of you, and her every day. -Jen
Thank you, Jen! I thought they were a gift and I’m happy to know they were from you. I’m keeping her vulgarity alive and still using that mug these days. I love and think about you, too, and I know that she lives on in your heart, so thank you for keeping her spirit alive, as well.
