Memories in writings are always a wonderful share. And this is one such beautiful experience where we are able to recollect some good old memories. Regarding the rides, I too like pony rides and train ride with evwry one beside me. But not the roller coaster. As you mentioned I always have a feeling what if stopped in the middle of the air on too and left all at once. Amazing view from your balcony to refresh ourselves. Lastly, Sony to hear about your friend. But then as told by someone, life should move on.
Yes that's my fear always was getting stuck high up in the air, life is just like that at times, right? All we can do is just remember it won't be that way forever!
