Balloons...Not Just For Kids

We went to dinner last night.

The boys received a balloon from the staff as we left. Griffin had a blue one, Hayden had green.

Once we made it to our car, Griff told me he wanted to let his balloon go up in the sky. "I want to give it to Papaw Mike," he said. And up it went.

We both stood quietly for a brief moment, when Griffin looked at me and asked, "You think he has it now?"

"Yep, I think he just grabbed the string."

The vision made me smile. I pictured my Dad walking among the clouds, with a pocket full of Tootsie Rolls that he used to hand the kids...

...and a balloon tied around his wrist.
