The "official" release of the last words from the Space Shuttle Challenger to Houston Control had someone exclaiming "uh-oh". An "unofficial" transcript of the final communication with the Challenger crew reveals that all aboard knew what was happening, and the panic in their voices was palpable. In this "unofficial" communication with the spacecraft, the last words spoken on the Challenger are from one of the astronauts: "Give me your hand."
One of the first things we feel coming into this world is the hand of the one who is bringing us out of our mother's womb. If we are fortunate, one of the last things we will feel leaving this side of life is the hand of dear loved one. In between the two, may we never underestimate the power of the human touch given or received in the Name of Love.
