Super Susie Skydives!

Mom "the Eagle" Landed And so did all her little Chicks...

The experience was totally awesome!!

Starting on Friday, Mom was feeling Nauseas & out of breath. We fear her cancer is progressing (or she is eating too much Red Meat)... In spite of her "stomach ache" Mom persevered... And JUMPED... And we all followed!! My brothers & myself all jumping at the same time w/ Mom followed by her grandchildren Deirdre, Kyle, Paul, & Ann Weadock then Michelle, the Maguires-Patti, Keegan & drum roll please... Chris Rowe (my paraplegic step-son)! No guts... No glory!!!

Jeff Shoenfaber!!! You Fly Guy! Thank you for joining us & flying others around who had not had an opportunity to jump... You made Shannon's day so special!!

Chi-Chi! ER nurse par excellence!! the medicine you got to quiet Mom's stomach sooo well! You truly changed the tone of her/our day!!

John Weadock arrived looking so sharp... He admits feeling very tempted to Sky Dive once he saw Chris Rowe jump... But alas... Someone had to stay on the ground w/ Shannon & cheer us in! And beside his wife would have killed him if the jump hadn't!!!

Patti & Keegan... Joining us for your Virgin Dive made our Bucket List group so very special!! Thank you so much!

TURBULENT was the only way to describe our day of Sky Diving! Mom's early day nausea set the tone for the day! Tho' Braving it; we were all scared! Thank God that by 5p, Mom returned to her usual animated & provocative self!!

Mom thought "the Dive", itself, was LESS thrilling than her other daring feats... But she loved the event far MORE than Hang Gliding b/c the FEAR Factor that everyone had to overcome was far more INTENSE! We appreciated what SHE was over-coming to lead the jump. As a result, we ALL felt so much more ACCOMPLISHED... This relief made for very ENERGETIC & EMOTIONAL family conversations (like we need more energy)!

On a personal side...
The real surprise over the day was that Mom's "moment of weakness" generated a level of real concern by Tom Weadock's 82yo father-in-law! Jack was so happy to see her "come back to self" that he kissed her, hugged her & held her hand for the rest of the day! He chose only to sit next to HER! (The Tarzan & Jane profile prevails regardless of Age)! Mom was soooo tickled... giggling like a school girl!
As she was preparing for bed last nite, she shares, "I think he likes me!!"
I quip, "Mom, isn't it unfair how things are getting HOT just as you are checking out?"
She responds w/ a twinkle, "ahhh no! it's the perfect time to leave! the party is at a peak, I am still able to dance & they LOVE me! It doesn't get any better!!"
(It is so funny how God let's us know HE Loves us! All we have to do is trust Him!!)

Everyone, thank you so much for your thoughts & Prayers!!

Carpe Diem!!

You've made it, Susie! Bless you. Can't wait for the next adventure. Will it be the donkey ride down the Grand Canyon?

SkyDiving looks so amazing, i can't wait to get a chance one day.

This is a really nice video and great that your Mum enjoyed it so much, she is much braver than most people, jumping out of a place is no easy task. My thoughts and wishes are with your Mum and family. She is having the time of her life it would seem by watching this.
