Yep, you read that right! My birthday is next Sunday, and as a present, a couple of my aunts gave me money to go skydiving. They knew it was on my bucket list. And, before anyone mentions my back, I cleared this with my doctors. My back doctor has done it, and told me a roller coaster is harder on the back than skydiving, and I did that in November. I mean, think about the late President, George Bush. Didn’t he go on his 100th birthday? If his back didn’t get hurt, mine won’t. I mean, he couldn’t even stand up straight.
I’m going with my best friend, Naomi. She went last year. She’s really excited. The tandem jumping doesn’t open until March 14th so we’ll be going in March or April. I hope you guys will be excited for me, because I can’t wait! I had planned to do this when I was thirty, but money and taking care of my mom got in the way!
Anyone else want to go?

No thank you since I am scared of heights.

@AmbiePam You are right since I will never ride a roller coaster ride again.

I don’t see the need to jump out of a serviceable aircraft, so no. 
However, if that’s the crazy sort of thing you enjoy, I hope it meets your expectations.

@AmbiePam I couldn't do it. I'm scared of heights and don't like looking out windows in tall buildings. (I get dizzy looking out a third floor window. *shrug*)

I could not do it. I usually enjoy adventures, but I have always said that if I did skydiving, I would probably die of fright or pass out and couldn’t pull the cord!! I’m glad you get to do this since you have always wanted to!!

I am so very glad that you are going to get to do this. I remembered you speaking of wanting to. Hopefully, it will be a truly special time for you to remember.

That sounds thrilling—happy early birthday, and it’s inspiring that even George H. W. Bush showed that age is no limit to chasing a bucket-list dream!

Neither roller coasters nor sky diving are right for me, but you go and have a wonderful time.
