a dream came true

mom came visit this past weekend and we went skydiving for our first times.

the experience was splendid-- it was beyond words can describe. part of it was because it was so short that i could barely remember the process. but it was a life time for mom, she said. it's amazing how each person experiences differently, though all was good.

i need to do it again and again in order to feel more. what i remember most was the couple minutes when me and my guide (who was attached right on my back) were hanging our legs by the door of the plane, waiting to take our jump. he was looking for something-- the right timing and speed and height etc, which i had no idea of. the minute right before we lifted ourselves off the plane was most unforgettable for me. everything after that was cool, in super fast or slow motion and then the end came. landing was smooth, smoother than jumping off a one-foot high stage. all was awesome, the people, the scenery (didn't realize Davis was quite pretty before then) and the weather. i would definitely do it more often when i have money. right now, i only have guts but no money. (it's better than the other way around, i guess)

on the day of April 16th, 2005, not only one of my many dreams came true, but one of mom's many dreams--our common dream--came true as well.

mom, thanks for doing it with me. it meant the world to me to have done it with you. but--it's only the beginning. we will be doing more fun things in the future, including anah and shital! we just have to organize it.

after the "jump", i can't help to think "sky is the limit". all of a sudden, it seems like all things are possible. i hope this spirit will last for a long long time...
