Regrets!!!!!!!!

I will have no regrets
If it ever go wrong
Maybe lots of questions but definitely no regrets
No pain or sorrow
My heart is set
For I have met
the most wonderful person on earth

I had a relationship
That moved mountains
it shook rocks because we did it all together
We climbed up and down
It was together
Which made it easier

Together we had love for all seasons
Love that lasts a moment, a lifetime and all eternity
One all men cherish
One that conquer all fear
One that melts ice and covers all sins

Together all things were made possible
Together all things were right
No wrongs in the Sky
No wrongs in the moon

The sun rises and shines when I see your face
It sets when my heart could not beat without your heart
The sky is the limit of the love that we shared
I will have no regrets
I will have no bitterness

Because you will always be there

Jump 2

So I could not stop laughing
I was so high
I think i could have walked thru fire and not feel it
So I called my mother
To tell her what her rebel child has done

me: hello mum, I have just jumped out of the plane
Mum: I don die oh, ta ni mo se (who have I offended)
me: what are you talking about?
Mum: Was it one of your patients?
(I work with criminals that have mental health problems)
did they push you or were you going after them?
Me: I jumped willingly now and it was fun, I will call you later to explain

The next time I saw her, she actually banned me from doing what I have already done
She said I forbid you and I will curse you if you try it again
To help her with her anxiety, I gave her the video to watch
Big mistake
She nearly had a heart attack
SERIOUSLY
She watched it with her friends
They all started saying that I need special prayers
That maybe they have done juju to me from Naija

Choi!!!! I just parachute jump now
What if I tell all the other things I like to do
She will strap me to her house
or start sending people to me to come and pray for me
I remember one time like that
my mother was pestering me about when I will have kids
Because I told her my friend had just had a baby

mum: so when are we going to have ours
me: I don't know, as the Lord wills
mum: Be thinking about it oo
me: actually i hav tot about it
me: I am going to adopt a child
mum: God forbid!! why would you do that when u can hav yours?
me: I don't see anything wrong in it, I intend to adopt anyways
mum: oko mi (my beloved) please don't do that now
me: I am not married, u are talking of children
I tell you the woman must think I am not hers
unfortunately and fortunately we are carbon copies .

Oh I forgot...
when I told my sis about the jump,
she went into hysterics (typical)
she started shouting in her office (full of coporate staff)
"my sister just jumped"
i am sure they were thinking
why didn't u follow her
with all her shouting
You will think she is the one that jumped

WARNING: this is not for the faint hearted
and definitely not for the light headed
because it took me nearly 2 weeks to
get over the adrenline high
believe me it is addictive

I was walking around with this grin on my face
"I can do anything"
"If only you know what I had just done"

Jump

Now I think about it, it was absolutely crazy
I used to work with some crazy peeps man
We all wanted to do Skydiving
It was talked about a lot
I had always wanted to do something outrageous
I decided to do it, paid the deposit
No turning back

I decided not to tell my mother as she will stop me
I told my younger bro and he played it down
I told my sis, she was hysterical so I lied that it was only a tot
I remember telling my pastor who categorically said
I am not going to pray for you cos black man is supposed to do things on land
we all laughed about it
Countdown to the day
I was very numb emotionally
I acted normally

Got to the pick up point
Many of my colleagues were shocked that I was going thru with it
I made sure I repented of all my horrible thoughts
If I am going to die, I want to be saying hello Daddy (GOD)
We arrived at our destination
Registration, introduction was fabulous and it was a breeze
I just started laughing and I couldn't stop
Like I had been given a happy dose of laughing gas
I got in my jump suit, the hat was hilarious

The plane started lifting after the runway
The ride was awful!!!
It was a bumpy ride and seriously I could not wait to get out
I will rather die flying myself
At least I will be in control
In spite of this
I was still laughing beyond belief
In retrospect, I think I was laughing at the way I had chosen to die

At 14, 000 feet at 12:05hrs, the plane stopped
Strapped to an instructor with my own camera man
My colleague had just jumped and he had 2 thumbs up weeeeeeeeeeee
I got to the edge of the plane door
we were above the clouds so I could not see the ground
My blackness, africanness returned
who sent me here?
Before I could change my mind
I jumped on the count of 3
It was as if an angel moved
Because it certainly wasn't me
With my eyes closed for a nanosecond
I am like damn!!, if I am going to die I might as well see it

Then we were flying
The rush was amazing
Freefalling at 180ml/sec
My heart felt like it was coming out of my mouth for the 1st 5 seconds
I was screaming
"that is wonderful" oh my God how I love you.........."
45 seconds felt like a nanosecond
Then the cord was pulled for the shute to come out
More screaming and laughing
I saw the beauiful clouds- formed rather well
If only i could touch it and put in a box
the speed reduced to 120ml/sec as the parachute came out
I felt like I was on top of the world
Still screaming and laughing saying a lot of nothings
I landed on my left knee unfortunately
I hd some scratches, it bled but I didn't feel the pain

I had done what I could only watch on TV
dream about or procastinate about
It was too amazing, adrenaline pumping, exhilirating rush
I was serioussly high for the next 2 weeks
Now I know why some people take drug continuously
So what's next I ask

'We should go Sky skiing
where you will be skiing in the sky literally
These people dey craze!!!!!!!

more coming in part 2
