  • So Proud of my Eldest Son

    My eldest son was 30 in May and for his Birthday his gf bought him a Tandem Sky Dive. He did this yesterday evening, this is someone who is afraid of flying and not very good with height's. Not only did he have a great time and wants to do it again, He decided he would do it for charity and has raised about £1,500 by passing a bucket around the nightclubs that he DJ's in and freinds and family sponsoring him.
    He is giving the money to a local Hospice where my sister spent a lot of time when she was ill and where she died.
    I am so proud that he turned a birthday gift into a gift for other's.

    When I told my other sister she just said ' hmm I wouldnt want to do it '. No neither would I but she could at least say well done.

    Well done him! Fantastic to do something you're scared of and then to raise money for such an important cause. He might be 30 but they're still our kids aren't they, give him a big hug and a slap on the back from us all.

        You are right to be proud.
        Great to see young people doing things like this for charity.
        People are too quick to blame the young for all the things that are wrong with our society.

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.

            you should be
            1. Proud that your son has conquered a fear and made money for charity

            2. Be concerned that your daughter inlaw in waiting will pay money to have your son chucked out of a plane, make sure you stay friendly with her she sounds like she means bussiness

              D£mn straight and all ... every reason to be proud! Well Done to your son
              Never test the depth of the water with both feet

              The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

              Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                    As it was for a local hospice I thought it better to keep it local but if anyone wants to donate pm me.

                      How thoughtful of your son and such a worthwhile cause, you have every right to be very, very proud of him.
                      The Hospice Charity's do so much fantastic work and they need people like your son to help them raise money to keep doing the selfless work that benefits hundreds of people every year..my Aunt spent a week in our local hospice and they were fantastic..i can't sing there praises enough.
