I am on summer break from school right now, but
before school ended, my dad was able to set up a video conference with my
class. All of the kids really enjoyed seeing him and asking him questions about
space. I don’t care how many times I see it, I still have to laugh when I see him
flip around in zero gravity and eat floating M&M’s.
Two nights ago, my mom and I went to a beach
party with my classmate Joe and his family. Just around 9:10pm, we were all
able to look into the night sky and see the International Space Station fly
over. It looked like a bright star just moving across the sky. For those four
minutes we were all watching, I couldn’t help but miss my dad.
Today is Father’s Day. My sister and I were
able to do a video conference with our dad at the same time. She was in
Houston, I was in Virginia Beach and my dad was flying over us! Really! He was
actually flying over us. He put his video monitor in his window and took a
picture of us with Virginia Beach in the background.
