I have dozens of photos of me and my daughter on roller coasters (she got hooked before she was even tall enough to ride legally). Every photo has us smiling/laughing/nearly ecstatic- not a hint of fear in either of our eyes. My 53 year old back prevents me from coasting these days, and she's busy killing it as a young CPA at EY. We haven't come near to the roller coaster phase yet- it will come and I will still be smiling/ecstatic through the ups and downs!
