LittleJumper 0 #1 February 3, 2002 I was at my sister's wedding today. Wonderful event!! Got closer to my family again after my mother's death from cancer. When I talked to my family...even cousins about my skydiving...they are very supportive. Nobody seems to have a negative thought about it. In fact, they all say "You're brave" I told my aunt about it...the peaceful feeling during the whole thing, and I told her that we dont think about the fear of jumping out the door,..cuz that's what we look forward to!! But it's the making sure our equipment is working properly & such...once we're at the door...it's "1, 2, GO!!" But it's landing the canopy...i want to learn how to do it at high speed....that's way cool!!Anyway...I re-connected with "some" of my siblings today...and it was great! Now, I'm looking forward to some kick ass skydiving tomorrow!!!It is SOO awesome to have a family that say they have tried it but not for them...but that it's cool that i do it. I also have family who have NOT tried but would like to. What you "think" you cannot do ...you CAN if you "think" about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooked 0 #2 February 3, 2002 Sounds like you had a nice time. Funny about families isn't it? I can't say my whole family is supportive, but I think they understand. A few still think I'm crazy and taking too much of a risk! But then they haven't tried it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #3 February 3, 2002 Well after I attend this wedding this weekend I know I wont get the support you get...It'll be the old why would you want to do something that stupid thing....like usual...but that is what I expect from that side of the family....Now my dad's side is a whole different thing altogether....marc"...a mind stretched with new idea's will never regain its shape" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #5 February 3, 2002 My sister was the brightest. She had the good graces plan her wedding in Montreal, in December, in a snowstorm, the day after I finished writing exams. She also staged a great wedding feast!My younger brother was not quite as polite, and got married on a sunny Saturday in August. At least it was too windy to jump.My older brother was the least bright. He chose a beautiful Saturday in July, so I didn't attend his wedding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #6 February 3, 2002 QuoteHe chose a beautiful Saturday in July, so I didn't attend his wedding.LOL I know an instructor who told his sister he was on duty the weekend of her wedding, teaching the FJC etc. Only thing was, he had lied, he was just fun-jumping that weekend...."Don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
