Have you ever experienced Free fall? It was the summer of 1999 for me. I was dating a guy after my marriage was over. He and some friends wanted to go sky diving. I tagged along. Four of the guys did the static line. I opted for the tandem jump. I wanted to experience the free fall. I jumped from 11,000 feet and experienced about 30 seconds of falling to the earth. It was without a doubt, the most exhilarating thing I've experienced. The wind rushing past your ears is something I won't soon forget. To feel like I was jumping from the safe, known entity of an airplane into a world that can be frightening at times. I remember hearing this song and thinking "wow, I can relate." I had been in an awful marriage and finally was free. I was vulnerable, but free. I heard this song today on the radio and it still makes me think of how far I've come.

Wow! Good for you! While I can relate to the song, I think I'm going to skip the jumping out of the airplane part!
Wow!!! I would NEVER jump out of a plane (unless, perhaps, it was crashing at the time and it was my best option).
Have always loved that song. And, yes, I've felt that way at least three times in my life. All I can say is...Thank God's been there in those times! They have made me stronger!
I think you are doing so well, Kelly.
