Adorable Old Person of the Day: For his grandma’s 82nd birthday, New York Daily News writer Joe Kemp got her a rather unorthodox present: Jumping out of an airplane.

Unorthodox for most, but rather mundane for Judy Wade. “I grew up with her exciting tales of driving race cars and sitting in the cockpit of a stunt plane,” Kemp writes. “She even taught me how to ride a motorcycle, taking me for my first ride when I was just 6.”

“It was so beautiful,” Wade said after realizing her lifelong dream of skydiving. “I don’t think I’ll be afraid of anything again.”
