I just kept my epi-pen handy and tried not to scratch the itchy hives.

I was alittle paranoid after a while because they would pop in the car on the way home and freak me out. So I told my children from now on let's let them go in the parking lot and see how far we could watch them. My son at 4 years old said let's let them go to Heaven I am sure a child must be having a Birthday today!!! So then it became a tradition. I think of that often when I see Balloons.

You can't spend your life floating in the clouds. Sometimes you have to get your feet on the ground. What goes up must eventually come down. You can’t spend your life floating in the clouds.

Great post though. Think I'm in the long and linger catagory of balloon, you know lifeless and a heap behind the sofa. Um must have been the only child that did not love balloons.

"That's okay," I said to my sobbing daughter, "It's going up to Heaven to see Great-Grandpa." My little girl looked at the sky. "GREAT-GRANDPA!" she screamed, "YOU GIVE ME MY BALLOON BACK RIGHT NOW!" Life Lesson: It's rude to take other people's balloons. Right after my grandpa died, I was walking with my little daughter and she was holding a balloon – which was accidentally released to the sky.
