Jumping from a cloud
It was April 23, 2012. What we thought was going to be and afternoon affair turned out to be an all day excursion and I am so glad that it did. I had never jumped out of an airplane. Donna, (fearless Donna) had talked me into jumping. It was such a hazy morning and as usual, I was skipping between doing it and not doing it. She told me what I would never forget. "You will regret NOT doing it." That is all it took. I jumped that day. The rush of falling 126 mpg for 10,000 feet and the quiet and stillness of air when the parachute opened, knowing that you felt so close to God was enough to change a life. When I got the video of my jump...I was so proud of myself and thankful that this awesome lady named Donna Lee Seymour Blackmon had talked me into doing the most thrilling, heart throbbing, scariest and peaceful thing I have ever done between heaven and earth. My son turns 18 in Sept and Donna was suppose to accompany my son and I on this jump. I will miss her and wish I was sharing this day with her. But I can't help but feel that she will be up there with me jumping from a cloud.
