It's a remarkable accomplishment and rightfully places you among the elite few in the human population who have been entrusted with the responsibility and privilege of being able to navigate the world above that in which we live. I can't wait to go up with you again, and mom is getting excited about taking her first ride as well. We are both incredibly proud of you, as always, and what you have achieved. Right now, I can only imagine how breathtaking the terrain below must look when all the trees become adorned in their magnificent Fall wardrobes. But I know that in the next few weeks, you will be able to take that imagery and make it a reality. That is one of the miracles of being able to fly. Congratulations again!!! And remember...the sky is no longer the limit!!! Love, Dad and Mom Daniel,
