A Balloon to Heaven

Last Saturday I took my kids to the Ashland Berry Festival.  They all got balloons.  So after we left, we had to stop by the store to pick up a few groceries.  As I was trying to get Catey out of the car, Lindsey opened the other door and her Yellow baloon went out the door.  Up and Up and Up in the sky.  I looked at it and Lindsey says it's okay, I'm not going to cry.  I waited a moment and said " Lindsey, you just sent a balloon to Connor".  She says, your right Mom.  So we all 4 stood there in the parking lot and watched that balloon until we couldn't see it again. Lindsey talked about how much Connor was going to like it, Mitchell asked how he would know it was for him, and I just stood there against the car and cried.  I had alot of things going through my head...I cant believe this happened to us, I cant believe that my children think about their brother in Heaven and how much we MISSED him.  I ALSO wished I could have fit in that balloon!!
