This book is a memoir of the first half of my life (I'm hoping), growing up in suburbia USA. Young life was a bowl of cherries, having all I needed and happy with it. My wants became my goals, and most were achieved. Dreams are fun to think about, but to turn them into reality takes planning and a strong desire.

This book is a memoir of the first half of my life (I'm hoping), growing up in suburbia USA. Young life was a bowl of cherries, having all I needed and happy with it. My wants became my goals, and most were achieved. Dreams are fun to think about, but to turn them into reality takes planning and a strong desire. Airplanes were in my dreams from an early age, and learning to fly an airplane was top on the list. Using all the skills learned from sports, school, and jobs, I started flying lessons at age fifteen. Funding my lessons was my after-school job at AandW Root Beer stand. It all worked out, and a month after my sixteenth birthday, I soloed my first airplane. This was the beginning of my love affair with flying. With all the twists and turns in life and all that goes with it, I secured my first professional flying job at age twenty-five. I was making money flying airplanes-not much, but to me that was secondary. Someone paying me to fly their airplane was a feeling I will never forget. The lessons in flying then were huge. I learned so much that at times I wondered if I went to flight school or what I was doing when I was there. The early days flying professionally were truly a dream come true, and the lessons learned could never come from a textbook. The climax of my professional flying took place in Alaska flying a turbine-powered aircraft. My flying career came to a crashing halt after being diagnosed with a major mental illness, manic depression. The kid who could do almost anything could hardly do anything. All hope for me was tested, and I didn't know if I had it in me to recover. The only hope I had was in Jesus. Will he hear my prayer?
