Joy was a great friend. We spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day every year for several years. We walked the four blocks from my apartment to watch the Rose Bowl Parade and then back to watch football and maybe the parade on tv. We cooked dinner and made sure we had black-eyed peas and cabbage. We exchanged birthday and Christmas gifts and went out to dinner. Since we left JPL, I have already missed her and will now miss that I won't see her on this plane again. I know that each member of her family has special memories and will miss her presence in their lives. Take time to meditate on what she would want you to do with your lives. Visit your sadness but don't stay there. Move on to what's next in your life!
