Surprise Balloon
One day this year, in July, I was heading to the
pistachio field to do my two hours work, bright and
early. Along the way, for some reason, the
remembrance of the day Cash had died came to my
mind. I could see myself at the hospital, again, and
being told they were not able to save him. It made
me feel very sad. I continued on my way, tears
falling silently.
The first thing I had to do, upon arrival, was drive
through the first field and turn a valve, then
retrace myself, turning two more. This made the
water go to the back field, where I then proceeded
to. I drove to the middle of that field, and watched
the water coming on and all the leaks that needed to
be fixed. I opened my car door, and was sitting
sideways, getting ready to change my shoes. Just
then, a solitary balloon came into my view, just
barely over the treeline, floating free and easy in
the early morning breeze. The time was 6 am, I
wondered if there could really be a child somewhere
who had lost hold of their balloon. All of a sudden,
I had the most wonderful feeling; I knew that Cash
had sent that balloon, for me to see, and to let me
know he was okay. The location was only ½ mile or so
from the place he and Jennifer had lost a balloon a
little over two years ago. That had been one week
before he had died. I know in my heart that somehow
Cash really did send me that balloon, and I know in
my heart that he is really okay.
That night, I called Jennifer on the phone and told
her about the balloon. The first thing she said
after I described seeing it fly was that it was
free….which is exactly what I think Cash was telling
me, he is free now, but he is still with me. Cash
will always live on in our hearts, and it often
hurts so bad, missing him, that I cry. But I am so
thankful for the time I had with him; our love will
never die.
