The sky was overcast today.
The wind was strong, but it felt so nice against my face. It made the balloon fight with my hand, almost like it was begging for freedom. I untied the pink hearts from the end of the ribbon, and I stood and held that blue balloon for a few moments, looking around at the shore. Then I turned my back to the tide, reached my arm up, and as the balloon left my fingers, I began to feel tears stream down my face. For the first time in 12 years, I let a balloon go up to you. For the first time in a long time, I missed you so terribly that it hurt. I tried to find that balloon, but I figured you had snatched it up.
I stood in the water and closed my eyes. I felt you in the air. I knew you were happy.
I buried the pink hearts somewhere. I don’t know if they’ll be there in August, but I know you will be. I love you Mom.
Happy Mother’s Day.
