Neither he nor his mother realizes it yet, but this kernel of an idea will take root.

Over time, Enrique begins to think about his mother.... one of his thoughts revolves around the fact that if she won't come to him... he will go to her. As time passes, this idea becomes something to really think about.... then it becomes a plan.... then it becomes a reality. Enrique's "kernel of an idea" will blossom into a very difficult but successful journey.
