Tonight we went to my SIL’s for my nephew’s 13 bday. As we left each of the boys was given a balloon filled with helium. J2 (8) was running around and didn’t realize his balloon became untied. It was quickly too high for anyone to reach. Someone told J2 – “You shared your balloon with Josh.” (meaning the balloon was headed to heaven). J2 was not consoled by this thought. J3 (4), ever the peacemaker said “Maybe Josh will send it back.” Oh, were it just that easy!

We gave a quick lesson about heaven – but as it is so hard for us to understand….I’m sure they don’t really understand. I know J3 firmly believes that Josh is playing with a balloon with Jesus….and maybe he is. 🙂

  1. That was sweet. Sorry he lost his balloon though.HugsJulie

  2. Hey Julie,I just wanted to drop you a note becuase I too lost my son a few years ago. The situation is a little different, because Demetrius committed suicide. I do feel your pain though. Wouldn’t you agree that one of the most difficult parts is raising your other children after you lose one? That is probably what my biggest struggle has been. Since the death of Demetrius I have written a book about my experiences. If you ever get a chance you should visit my site and my blog. It is at http://www.tamarasutton.com.In light and love,Tamara
