Just this summer I had taken my lil' one to NASA in Houston and had explained him how the scientists build the rocket and how humans have advanced themselves to live in the space, and how the astronauts ate, slept and even peed in space. We talked about "Neil" (Armstrong was too big a word for him to pronounce) and his walk on moon. "Did he sit in the rocket just like I sit in the car and go to the moon?" Hmm..I thought for a while and said. "Kind of." His little mind couldn't comprehend all the information but he sure did enjoy his trip to NASA where he got to see the real rocket and learn about astronauts. Today, as NASA announced the death of this 82 year old astronaut, Neil Armstrong, I couldn't believe it. The man who at one time walked on the moon is no longer walking with us on the earth! This man who was able to touch the moon, would now reside among the stars...far, far away.
I pray that his soul rests in peace. He will always be in our mind and will not be forgotten.
