Theres a little story that my mom told me that my dad had gone to heaven which in spanish is "El Cielo" which is the same word for sky, to build a home for us to have somewhre to go when we transitioned. I immediatly became obsessed with the sky, thinking of creator and my dad together when the sun rays would break cloudy days. Looking to the clouds for guidance, and inspiration daily. I imagined my dad living in the clouds, building us a house of clouds, similar to where Hercules was born in the Disney Movie. It was a thought that I had often as a kid, so much so that the first time I was on a plane I wanted to open a window and I wanted to stay there, in the clouds, I was sure I could hop from cloud to cloud video game style to find my dad, building our home. I told my mom "I have to check the progress in the kitchen." I still think about the house in the clouds often.
