Pink Balloon

Pink Balloon



I found a deflated, pink balloon on my morning walk with Gurler. I liked the white ribbon attached to it and I thought Lizzy had mentioned that she didn’t have any more ribbon to tie back the curtains in the bedroom. I stooped to pick it up. A hot pink balloon with a thin, white ribbon and something flexible and flat inside the balloon. I’d forgotten my knife. There would be no cut flowers for the window sill vase today and also I couldn’t cut the ribbon on the balloon either. I tried to pull it off the balloon and in the attempt I tore the knotted end of the rubber balloon clean off. I stuffed the ribbon into my back pocket where I keep the unused doggy bags. Then I investigated the strange object inside the balloon. It didn’t come out easily. I had to stretch the neck of the balloon and squeeze my fingers in like tweezers and pull the object out. It turned out to be a folded, baby blue 3x5 card with neatly printed writing on it. The writing was gold or yellow magic-marker. Two lines. Simply said:

“I pray that my kids get to know the lord.” 
“I pray that my husband gets better.” 

There are so many questions that came into my mind.
I have been thinking about that message all day.

What a tremendous way for this person to put her message out into the universe. Glad you were the one to find it and to share it.

Nice to hear from you. Yes, I was pleased to pass on the message and let other people get to see it. Life is full of surprises and little pleasures...hope you have a little fun and a couple of pleasant surprises yourself today. Love, Unkle Rand.
ps SURPRISE was the first word my Dad taught me to spell. He did so by singing the letters to a tune that was a little surprise all by itself. Remind me to "sing" it for you one day.

Kemika 7384 I got a translation of your comment and it was very interesting. No, I am sorry but I don't want to gamble on line and give you my money, but if I ever do consider on-line gambling I will remember your love for my blog and contact you. Until I decide to gamble thusly, could you please not post anymore comments? I really appreciate it. Thanks, Camerabanger.
