And what I found in that, although it's difficult, there's probably two things I want to say.

The first I want to say is I felt like it was liberating for them.

I felt like it gave them space to just accept that this is a possibility.

And then not many people have these conversations with their families.

Period.

But life is risky, even if you're not climbing on an 8 million pound rocket and going around the moon.

And I think these conversations are very healthy.

And another thing that this conversation helped me with, but then also my crew has helped me with, is there are a lot of things that you want to shy away from.

And those build up in your soul.

You can feel them building up when you shy away from a conversation that you should be having.

And I'm not perfect.

I shy away from, they know, I shy away from just about every tough conversation because it's hard for me.

But I have found every time you have those conversations, even if they don't go well, you come out the other side, just your soul is a little bit freer.

That's something I'm still, that's part of my journey at 50 years old is to still work my way through that.

But don't avoid, you have to, you have to talk about those things.

Yeah.

And you sent that to us before we launched, too.

Yes.

No way.

Every night of the mission.
