yes john i have heard the same how kites have made people feel better about themselves i lost 2 children before haveing my son 7 months ago the first 2 pregnancies went really bad so i think that kites have helped me cope with my loses and i am glad that i have other people like me that can see kite flying as something bigger then what the public sees it as and that im not crazy for being a grown man that flies kites thanks for haveing me
