My Best Find Ever

[VOL1266-X]

My friend Modern Miner encouraged me to post this, Today, I was bushogging pastures on my farm when I eyeballed a green ribbon wrapped around a rolled up 8.5x11" sheet of white paper in a pasture. We occasionally find the remains of helium balloons in the fields. I stopped the tractor, untied the ribbon, and read the contents of the note as shown in the pic. Apparently "Austin" recently lost his Grandfather and wrote him a note and sent it skyward toward heaven. Finds like this really put life in perspective. This is definitely my Best Find. rtde3 (Rob) suggested that I always keep that note and I will. I will never try to locate Austin as I hope he will grow up believing the note made it to his Grandfather. HH, Quindy.

Awww, now that is sweet. Kind of a neat idea to help kids deal with the loss, using balloons to send notes to heaven.

That's a very sweet and nice way to deal with a Grandfather's death. I lost mine this past Friday night and am finding it alittle difficult to deal with but find solace in the fact that he passed away in no pain in his sleep. That's a very special find Quindy and I think Rob's idea is terrific.

Wow Quindy. When I saw you made a post titled MY BEST FIND EVER I was anxious to see what you found. I am still in awe. I am very proud of you for taking the time to investigate and making a great recovery. Words can not describe how I felt when I read it. Thank you for posting.
