Remember the message on a special balloon that we came across last month? The message that got hung up on one of the memorial light posts along the river trails?
I had every single intention to resend that special message on Easter. That was until Mother Nature brought us her own special basket of rain during the early evening hours on Easter. Definitely not a good time to set sail a very special balloon for a very special person. A balloon that had every intention to reach it's special birthday message destination.
Heaven.
Unfortunately, I knew that I couldn't use the exact same balloon to sent back up to the pillowy white clouds in the sky. Not after losing all of it's helium flying powers when it accidently got stuck, wrapped around the top of the memorial light post along the river trails. What the balloon needed was a bit of assistance from a few other balloons. As I carefully un-taped the birthday message. I noticed what appeared to be another message from someone else written on the back side of the note. Not only was it another birthday message to the special someone in Heaven, but now the special someone had a name. Larry. How ironic could this be?!? Myself and Eric always wondered about the name with so many heartfelt birthday messages that had every intention, to be delivered back home. In Heaven.
I believe in signs. Always have, always will. Today was certainly the day that this message would once again fly up to the Heavens with a special message to be delivered. To Larry from his loved ones, who wanted to let him know how much he is loved. Forever loved. On a very special day. Larry's birthday.
Maybe Easter just wasn't the right day to release the balloon. I believe in signs. As we got ready this evening to head up for our late walk along the river trails. We stopped at a local store so I could pick up a few balloons to help resend Larry's message. What I needed was some helium flying power! A balloon with some substance to it! Enough helium to carry the message high above the clouds so it wouldn't get caught again along the way. A balloon that would help assist this special message all the way up to Heaven.
I initially picked a colorful square balloon and a very pretty Happy Birthday balloon with sunflowers. As the young lady was filling the balloons up with helium, I felt drawn to look up towards the ceiling. There it was! Enough helium flying power to reach beyond the clouds! A super-size mylar balloon with the same appropriate message, "Happy Birthday!" Yep, that would be the one! The one balloon that not only assisted the colorful square balloon, but as well the pretty sunflower balloon carrying the very special message. Trust me by saying, that I planned on making double, even TRIPLE sure that this message would not be getting hung up on any light posts or anything else along the way!
This evening as I tied all three balloons together. I looked for the most perfect location along the river trails in hopes of making sure that Larry's message got sent back up to the skies, way past the clouds, onto it's destination. Back home with a very special birthday message. Heaven. It didn't very take long for all three balloons to quickly disappear among the clouds. In fact, within only a mere five minutes the balloons completely disappeared. To think, that something so wonderful, so rare, a once-in-a-lifetime moment, I was blessed enough to help assist. An evening walk, that led us to a special balloon, in need of assistance. To help resend a very special message to a most very special person. Larry. I don't believe in things like this happening again. Not ever again, because this is a once-in-lifetime moment. Was it meant to be for me? Most definitely!
As we continued walking along the river trails. I kept looking back, while saying a special prayer to the special balloon carrying a special message to a very special person, Larry. I prayed that the balloon would finally make it to it's very special destination, Heaven. I also prayed that somehow, someway, someone would let me know later down the road of life... That the message on the balloon was finally delivered.
This evening at exactly 11:11pm~Angel digits. While resting on my couchbed with my beloved Littleblue. The most odd, yet spectacular thing happened. As my cell phone sat on the left side of the couch, where I always keep it before going to sleep. Out of nowhere, my Google search microphone was somehow pressed and then activated. "If you just said something. I didn't hear what it was?" Not only did it scare the BEJEEPERS out of me, but I got that overwhelming feeling of nothing but pure electric surrounding me. Do I believe in signs? Sure I do! I looked at my phone and smiled. A very big, happy, content smile.
Thanks Larry for letting me know that your message made it back home to you. 
Heaven.
