irishrigger 31 #1 June 19, 2017 Both my Mum and Dad thought i was crazy to be doing skydiving but promised that they would do a Skydive with me for years, even though i knew it was very unlikely that they would ever do it. Sadly my Dad passed away in November of last year and my mum 4 weeks ago. So yesterday i decided that i would fulfill the promise made and took them both up for an Ashes dive!Needless to say it was a very emotional jump but i Thought it be very fitting! at least they can say were ever they are that they now have done a skydive Blue Skies Rodger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,090 #2 June 19, 2017 I'm sorry to hear about your parents, and so soon one after the other, but that's awesome about the jump... Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

BIGUN 1,030 #5 June 22, 2017 Rodger, What a difficult time for you. Very sorry about your losing both parents in such a short time-frame. Your ashes memorial was a tribute not only to them, but to the life they gave you. Blue Skies, KeithNobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
