So...What did Santa Bring you?

Cherish the time you have with your loved ones.

I'm sorry for your loss, Hai. The holidays are a bad time for such
things. (Not that there is a good time...)

I echo your thoughts about GA as a wonderful "time machine" for seeing
more of family and friends. Were it not for our old Warrior, I would
never have been able to spend as much time with my Mom when she was
dying.

And we just returned from an over-night flight to Wisconsin to attend
Mary's family Xmas celebration. Atlas saved us from an 11-hour
round-trip drive, in exchange for a 3-hour round-trip flight.

Yes, make every day count.

I'll second this one. My condolences Hai...and our prayers to you and
your family. Times like this are difficult and it seems that only time
helps...but even then only so much as we are faced with the loss of
someone that can't be replaced.

An excellent point Jay. I was able to take my Dad flying on the 24th
and it was great. The airport restaurant had closed early but that
didn't matter. We just took off and around 1000 AGL, I gave him the
airplane as we buzzed around the local lake. It was amazing to watch
him return to his element and do a great job of maintaining altitude and
keeping the ball centered as we tooled around. I even had him fly
vectors for a practice ILS approach.
