Cody, If you want to watch Fandango, then you better go to Camp H. and tell Ben that he has to bring it home, 'cause he took it with him. And don't worry, I'm all good, I just like to put my heart on my sleeve. Venting feels good to me. And yeah, that was right after Hansen left, how did you know? Those were of course his words, "It's the company you keep." So Sean, right? I got your "Stuff" on the way. You should get it next week. Don't do anything stupid, or I'll have to sick the boys on you. It's occuring to me that I should take the rest of this to PM. See you there.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

Nada much. We miss you sooooooo very much. Can't wait until October when we get to throw down some mad tracking dives! And NO LANDING at the liquor store, Cody!!!! Be good over there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Hi AirKid, My name is Bonnie. How are you? You little freakazoid? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Thank you.... ...... for everything. B

Awe thanks guys. I was a bit worried this morning when I woke up that I would have to do some damage control. This post was a sappy result of what happens to me when Jack meets pen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

A Pacifist amongst Warriors She stared at him through tear soaked eyes. He said, “It’s the company you keep.” She is no stranger to pain, no stranger to heartache. She knows loss intimately. None the less, she is taken aback by the amount of emotion that consumes her. A lifetime spent dedicated to love, freedom and peace. Until now she has kept only the company of like minded individuals. Peace at all costs. “Peace and Blue Skies.” She has written it thousands of times. She tries to live by those words. Practice what you preach. So how is it that she now stands before a warrior preparing for battle? How is it that her heart is laid on the table, prepared to do anything it takes to ease his burden, to stand by his side, to aide and defend? How is it she is prepared to defend against the critic, to defend against the internal struggles he faces? She is prepared to defend against any adversary he is faced with. She has never been elegant with good byes. She usually slips out undetected. But she knows better now. She absorbs him fully into her arms. She soaks in every bit of energy. She feels every muscle, every breath, recording it to her memory. She savors it as if it were gold, knowing full well it is far more valuable. She feels the urge to run before the tears come in full force. But she takes one last good look. She looks into the eyes of a warrior; a warrior she calls friend. Then she slips away. She drives back to the safety of her comfortable home. He boards a plane to the farthest thing from comfort. He heads off to join the men she said good bye to last week; last month; her brothers. His words play back in her head, “It’s the company you keep.” How is it that this pacifist has come to keep the company of warriors? What is the common denominator? It’s the sky, freedom, love, scars and ultimately acceptance. She throws aside labels. Conservative and Liberal; her two least favorite labels of all time! Each person is truly an individual. Each person has a role on this planet; in this imperfect world. From the pacifist who cannot fathom hurting any creature, to the warrior who makes great sacrifices, each of us has a role. Each of us is ultimately dependant on the other in order to find and maintain balance. Tonight I pray for peace. Tonight I stand prepared to back up my brothers in battle. Tonight I pray that each and every individual looks upon their fellow man as an individual and casts aside labels. Tonight I pray that we all take a good look at those we understand the least and realize that they are just like us. Because in the end, “It’s the company you keep.” And I for one keep the best company of all freaking time! I keep the company of pacifists AND warriors……and we are all one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

To the friends of John Kelly, aka JP, aka Deuce: I hear your cries. I feel your pain. I sense your anguish, Your tears like rain. Why did he do it? What could I have done? Oh God it hurts. Why is he gone? His pain as dark as the blackest night His demons never giving up their fight. The shadows deep within his heart Constantly tearing his soul apart. I do not know his painful depths For that I thank the Lord For I have only just begun to learn To balance mine with His word. But this I know to be true. This I choose to share with you. Our friend was with us many years. Through the joy and through the tears. Because of the light and love you chose to share Because of the freedom he found in the air. Please find peace in knowing well You did your part to subdue his hell Turn now to each other. Hold your sister, hold your brother Stand behind the girls he loved so well Be there always so they may never fall. In closing please know it’s more than words when I say, “I love you all.” ……and Peace and Blue Skies is more than a catchy slogan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Did you contact Anita about doin' the spread? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

>>"Ah, Chris, you are the best friend any man could hope for in a lifetime." I know it was just a silly text message, but I kept it because it reminded me of how much he cared and how much his support meant to me. I still have it. Now, I am not quite sure what to do with it. Gravity Gear!

I think skydiving and the community that JP found here helped keep him alive a lot longer than he would have been had he not found "us". Don't ask why nobody saw it coming.... why nobody did anything.... why you didn't do something..... You did. We did. This sport and this community filled his final years with a joy he would not have otherwise known. I want to thank you JP for not taking this to the drop zone. I know you love us. You know we love you. I know you held on as long as you could. I hope you are okay now. I hope you are at rest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
