kiridethFour years ago today, I took you on your first real roller coaster. Despite your fear of heights, you went with me.
That fear is still there. And yet, you'll still go with me. To some of them, you've said "never again". Indeed, I have a photo of us on one such coaster. It's on a keychain in my coat pocket. And I'm sure if you read this, you'd be shaking your head and calling me a goof. And maybe I am.
We should go again sometime. Or elsewhere. And I know it's scary. But after that initial plunge is over, isn't it all worth it? And, while I can't make the ground come any closer, and I can't prevent the train from derailing, I can distract you so you won't care how high up you are, and I can assert all the reasons I believe it's going to stay on the track.
Come with me? Please? I love the experience. The ups, the downs, the twisting and turning, and all the forces at play with one another. And I want to share it with you.
