I am the founder of Connect2nicu, I am a wife and I work 40+ hour week job. On this day I put my founder hat on and had meetings from 8 am until 430 pm. I get home and call a girl friend (that I should have called months ago). She invites to go to a private book signing with her.
Want to thank my friend Cynthia for impromptu moments in life. Most of life great adventures happen because of the people you are interconnected with and being open to share, learn, and grow.
Met the most interesting gentleman tonight (Renato Moncini). He was an engineer for NASA, back in the 1960s and 70s. While there he drew different launch scenes while they were taking place, because they could not capture these moments on camera. Below is a collage of several of his pieces.
He shared stories from his time at NASA, stories of just migrating to USA, and fond memories of family. He compared Italy (were he is from) with America while reminding us it is a privilege to be a citizen of this nation.
I am not sure if I will meet him again. I have decided that tomorrow I will be concerned with all I need to do.
However, due to an impromptu adventure I met a legend, and grew just a little bit more.
