Yeah, I've seen my life pass before me.
It's funny, but as a kid my dad had his own skydiving club that he started.
I used to actually snap into a harness and lean out the door of a Cherokee 6 airplane and take super 8 movies of them exiting.
I was 9 years old then.
One time I unsnapped and was moving back to my seat when the plane bounced and I almost went out the door at 8000'.
A guy that had refused to jump just happened to be by the door, the only time I ever remember anyone riding the plane down.
He grabbed me as I went by and saved me from certain death.
I told my Dad a lot of things before he died, but I NEVER told him about that.
(He had exited the plane seconds before that happened.)

The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me."
