A balloon release was held- purple balloons; for domestic violence awareness.
I was not able to go to the gathering where everyone was releasing balloons, so I bought my own and wrote a message on it to her.
I don't even think you know how much someone can impact your life until they are gone.
I went out to a place in the street at dusk...trying to be away from power lines etc., as i let go and watched it soar up ward, I couldn't help but wonder.. is she gonna get it? where is this balloon really going? scientifically speaking it will get to a certain altitude and pop.
But that explanation is too simple for me, I knew in my heart that it would float up to her.
EXCEPT...
Some wind came and blew it into a tree.
At first i started to tear up, walked back in the house with my head down, feeling pretty dumb, but then i kind of started to laugh.
I mean honestly, that is pretty funny. Nick told me she sent that wind to make it blow into the tree... to make me laugh. to start off my night with a smile. Its like she knew i needed a good laugh.
I was nervous to have some cocktails this night, i didn't want to get emotional, but it turned out to be one of the most fun nights i've had all semester. I can't help but think it was due to the beginning of my night, and the light heartedness of the balloon incidence.
Things don't always go the way you plan, but you adapt to the change,and make the best of it.
