i heard about this "incident" a few days ago, and didn't know what to do except cry about it.... so, i am trying to to what we all do... talk about it to make some sense of it, or share what we feel as skydivers about a horrible tragedy... i met sara 5 years ago when she came to the florida skydive center, she was just a baby skydiver, full of life, love, energy and wonderment with the sport. she never, ever lost that... i jumped with her when she had a handful of jumps and thought i was someone to look up to... amazing. the last time i saw her, i totally thought i should be looking up to her. she didn't get caught up in dz politics, she loved everyone the same way, and she was just as excited to jump with me when she had 1,000 jumps as when she had 100. i kind of always think of her as 18 when i first met her, ah... she was too young, too beautiful of a spirit...
and then... if i die skydiving... i will be doing something i love, just as i know she was. i know she would back me up saying if it going to happen it is your time. she is the only religious skydiver i have been close with and whoa... one of the most amazing.
sara... i love you, and i always will, i just wish it would have been me instead of you...
amelie.
