Everything to know about the April 8 eclipse in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #eclipse | SaltWireFARMERS BRANCH, Texas - Leticia Ferrer is an"umbraphile" - literally, a shadow lover - but what it really means is that she is a chaser of eclipses.
"I'm addicted to that feeling of ... for those few seconds or minutes, being one with the universe and being really present and feeling it. And then, of course, there's always the planning for the next one," Ferrer said.Ferrer budgets for travel and takes vacation from her day job to witness the events, saying this will be her third in North America.
Her obsession has had its challenges. In 2017, Ferrer was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but she delayed treatment to make it to see an eclipse that year. In 2010, her first husband died, and she traveled to South America the following month because,"I watched his dreams die with him, and I'm not going to let my dreams die."
