i have a son who will be 5 in may. i started jumping last july doing tandems, but am now solo. i have been asked several times if feel bad doing something like this and having a child. i've always been the one to wonder "what if?" and for the first time i actually have a hobby and true friends that are pretty much a family to me. i have learned that having a child doesn't mean your life is over and you can't enjoy anything anymore. my son loves being a part of anything i'm doing and loves being at the dropzone with me. we bring his bike out there, remote control cars, etc... and there are other kids out there too. he loves pretending to pack and knows the rules while in the hanger also. he says he wants to jump when he's old enough, which of course would be awesome if we ever got to do that together. everything in life is a risk and no matter what we never know what is coming our way, so why not enjoy life while you got it?
