make your own dreams come true

Have you ever had something you wanted to do so badly
that you could almost taste the desire?

That's how I was with riding a hot air balloon.

I had longed to do that since the first time I saw
the incongruous, nearly magical thing.

Imagine!

Floating high over the Earth, held up only by heated air.
As a kid, I thought it must be pure magic.

I was right.

This summer we made my long-held dream come true. You know how it tasted? Sweet.
