Congratulations, Rosa! :)
Oh man, I've been thinking about the sky a lot lately, but I don't think that I'm quite ready to get current again because I'm a little too distracted by other things right now. I can't even remember when my last jump was, but I remember what happened on the last jump because it left a little dent in my left tibia! B| Hmm, I guess I should have gotten back in the air right after that, because taking a long break after a bad jump is probably not the best idea...

But I'm really glad to hear that you're back in the sky. I know the feeling. :)

Nooiiiccee !!! Are ya gonna hit 300 this year? :D



Of course, I will, Wally! I had almost 200 within just over a year in the sport, but then, I broke my ankle and stopped jumping for half a year. I returned for about 4 days of skydiving over the next few months, afterwards. The, I decided to stop jumping, again. This last skydiving "hiatus" was for just over a year.

I stopped skydiving because my grandmother was on her death bed this whole last year, and I didn't want to be jumping, when I could be helping my mother (who never asked me, but needed me there with her through this) and grandmother (who seemed to be better when her family was around). I can't tell you how many times that we took my grandmother to the hospital. It was really touch and go for a while...and all of this went on and on and on. We had time at night to relax, after my grandmother saw her night nurses, so I was able to go to the tunnel every so often to fly in the evening. I also was able to see my friends at the Bombshelter.

My grandmother is finally over that scary stage, which is nothing short of a miracle at her age, but she still requires 24 hour care. My mother has people help her to take care of her at home. It's a lot of work, but we now have a routine. (Also, my own health had given me problems, during this time. There was just so much going on...)

Now, everything seems to be on the up and up, so I HAD to begin jumping again. It's my passion. Even though I don't have the money right now. I will still find a way to do it! :)
