camnaddiesmom 0 #1 October 20, 2004 My dad just took his first jump at age 50, and I am in awe. I never thought he was capable of doing something so "illogical." I honestly believed that the moment he gazed out of the plane's door he'd say "f**k it." But he actually did it!! And I couldn't be more proud of him!!! Dad, you know who you are. You are AWESOME!

Evelyn 0 #2 October 20, 2004 Awesome! Now is he gonna do AFF? I did my first jump at 50. That's when life began for me! Good luck to your dad, hope me continues. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camnaddiesmom 0 #3 October 20, 2004 Wow, your quote is incredible! Unfortunately, I know nothing about this sport, so I am ignorant of the meaning of AFF. What's it mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
