Welcome to my world…

I have an interesting quote: “Welcome to my world!”

Sip a cup of coffee and absorb the story that I posted in Feb. 3, 2009. I found it buried and lost in an archive on someone’s website. I guess when they rip off content it helps at times… 🙂

George Steele, 49, was a veteran of 8,000 parachute jumps and the pair were the last of aboutWindows to Russia! 10 skydivers to jump out of the plane. Daniel Pharr, a man diving with and being trained by Steele, enjoyed a minute of free fall as the cold air rushed by…

“He (Steele) pulled the chute,” Pharr said. “It got super quiet. It’s eerily quiet up there…

I made the comment to him: “It’s surprising how quiet it is.”

And he’s like: “Welcome to my world!”

A few seconds passed, and Pharr asked his instructor another question…

This time, Steele didn’t answer…

Pharr repeated his question…

No answer…

“Welcome to my world!”

It seems that Steele had died of a heart attack while in free fall training someone to parachute. He died quietly , peacefully and seemingly in no pain. He was in his world…

Give credit to Daniel Pharr: He kept his head about him and kept it from being a double death…

I doubt we all will go to the pearly gates doing what we love more than anything else in the world…
