Hi friends, it's Lyn.

This summer of 2021 Erik's father, Jon Lindbergh passed away. Jon was the oldest surviving child of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Anne was pregnant with Jon when they lost their first born, Charles Junior.

In this episode Erik and I sat down together in our studio and talked about Jon, what it was like for Erik to be his son, and how it informed who Erik is today. I'm proud of my hubby Erik for taking on this episode.

This is a special recording. Erik and I twice tried to record this episode over the past couple of months but the timing wasn't right, there was still much process and grieve. We once even sat in front of the microphones, took a deep breath, and then abandoned the recording. Erik understandably wasn't ready. This week, the timing was right and Erik was ready to share. At the end of the recording we added a couple of clips of Jon Lindbergh sharing his favorite childhood memories. It is difficult for us to hear Jon's voice with his loss still so new and raw, but we wanted to share these voice clips to help keep his memory alive.

I hope this episode brings you hope and healing among the parent-child relationships in your life.

Sincerely,

Lyn

Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode

It was still bubbling and burbling and it comes and goes in waves. You feel great and then it hits you again.

~Erik

How to we navigate this stuff? It's painful no matter how you look at it.

~Erik

I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

~Erik

Keep talking to them [your children] because they may act like they are not listening, but they are.

~Erik

I have compassion for him [Jon Lindbergh] because he grew up in very different circumstances. He was always loving, but awkward.

~Erik

My dad, Larry Sanstrum, family was his life. Family was what he loved and thrived in. Family was his priority. Whenever I came home, Dad would stop everything he was doing and talk with me.

~Lyn

It was sort of a right of passage with my Dad when you could go on the high-hunt in the North Cascades. It was a bonding and empowering experience we had over the years. This is what we did.

~Erik

I feel somewhat lucky in that I forgave him for his inadequacies, and I feel empathy for him, and I feel like he did the best he could which was inadequate. I'm probably inadequate as a father to my son, but I try and I try to do better, and give more, and give better. In that way we are all part of a circle. To forgive him is to forgive myself because it gives you permission to be who you are.

~Erik

When you have compassion for yourself, you can have compassion for others around you.

~Erik

Sometimes we say good parents have good kids, but we all know kids raised in amazing circumstances who end up screwed up, and we know the opposite.

~Lyn

We need to be who we are, and that begins today.

~Erik

The house was not haunted when we lived there, it was probably us who haunted that house.

~Erik

Have empathy and love for the stuff that hurts and the stuff that doesn't make sense.

~Erik

Barry Schiff - Flying Then and Now

Erik and I recently had an extraordinary opportunity to talk with someone who has been in aviation his entire life, flown more than most, and is an award winning journalist who has covered aviation for over 30 years.

Barry Schiff is the perfect compliment to last week's episode because he is able to speak from the perspective of multiple generations. He has seen how aviation has changed and how culture around aviation has also grown and changed for both the good and the bad.

I hope you enjoy this special episode with Barry Schiff.
