This blog article is dedicated to my beautiful (inside and out) 32-year-old, niece Aeriel Noorhana Celeste Corson New, who earned her heavenly wings on February 1, 2022.
After leaving New Franklin last July on my trip to New Mexico, I headed to Blue Springs, MO for a long-awaited visit with Aeriel and her family before settling in for the night at a Blue Springs Airbnb. It never crossed my mind that this would be the last time I would see her. I love you, Aeriel. You hold a special place in my heart.
After a restful night’s sleep, I got up, skipped breakfast, and headed out to meet my guides, Sarah and Alec Poff for a whirlwind tour before I got back on the road.
The article is mostly pictures as I did not take the time to record or write down any of the information shared by Alec and Sarah; thus, a return trip is in order.
A trip to Independence, MO is worth your time and money.
