There is a song called "Loose Balloon" by The Presidents of the United States of America. Ever since the first time I heard it, that is the first thing that pops in my head every time I see a random balloon floating away.

I don't know that song. Fitting association.

And I think of departures ... probably related to what is going on in my life currently.

I have always wondered about the identity of the person who might find it.

Do the balloons come down again? I wonder about that, having never seen one come down. I thought maybe they get stuck in the stratosphere somewhere.

I think of the child from whose grip the balloon possibly escaped, and how they might feel.

Now that's a poignant story - I can feel it.

You don't have to apologize, Michelle. It's a valid concern. Happens to small children too often.
