'Ben's Balloon Gift ~ to Jack'

On Tuesday 5th June, it was Jack's big brother Ben's Birthday, he turned 3...  Andrew and I took Ben, Sophie and Andrew's mum, Cynthia out to the 'beach' for the day...  The children were going to play on the rides and have fun for Ben's Birthday...  One thing Ben asked us to do though, before he started to enjoy his day, was to 'let a 'balloon' go, high in the sky, for Jack'...

Ben said to us that he wanted Jack to join in the fun too, and as he is 'up in the sky', could he let a balloon go, that Jack could hold onto, and play with on his birthday...

Well, we couldn't think of anything else so perfect...  We bought the most beautiful red, helium balloon, with 'Postman Pat' on it and we took it with us to the beach...

We found a nice quiet place where the sea was just coming in on the sand.  Sophie and Ben held Jack's balloon, we each placed a kiss on it for Jack,  then with Ben holding it tight, I released the weight and Ben 'let go' when he was ready...

We watched and watched, the tears fell and fell, higher and higher until...  Jack had it with him in Heaven!

'Holding tight'...

'Undoing the ribbon'...

'Time to fly'...  12.15pm

'So High'...

'With Jack in Heaven'...

Watching, wishing, wondering!...

Enjoy your Balloon 'Sweet Angel Jack'...
