Skydiving

I can never imagine how I would react if my son were to tell me face to face that he was going skydiving.

Indeed it was great shock to me when by chance I learned that he had actually done it already.

How did I know he did it? Oh, I was browsing online to find out more on the multi-national company which he would be joining after graduation and a page on "International clerkship report" caught my eyes. I was excited to find his report. I clicked on his name and began to read curiously his well-written, long report on his wonderful experience in Sydney. 

As I read on... until the part he wrote, "I took on the extra challenge of enrolling for their skydiving course so that I could do a solo jump over the weekend.",  I was stunned and my heart almost stopped.

Thank God it's over and he is back safely.

As a mother who worries for her children's safety all the time, I wonder what my answer would be if he were to seek my opinion prior to enrolling for the jump?????

May be he knew the answer and that's why he didn't ask. Smart Boy!
