Description

"A couple of years ago, a 5-year-old boy was hit by his neighbor's car that was backing out of the drive way. My family know his family, so we ended up going to the funeral. At the end of the funeral, in symbolism, a red balloon was released into the sky so that the boy would be able to have one in heaven (symbolically). This reminds me so much of that moment, when we watched the balloon disappear among the few clouds that strayed in the near-clear sky that afternoon."

This isn't cliche, it's beautiful.

A couple of years ago, a 5-year-old boy was hit by his neighbor's car that was backing out of the drive way. My family know his family, so we ended up going to the funeral. At the end of the funeral, in symbolism, a red balloon was released into the sky so that the boy would be able to have one in heaven (symbolically).

So don't say it's cliche. It's beautiful.

Apart from my moment of reminisce, I love the clouds. They're wonderfully done.

That's incredibly touching Perspective. Thanks for the comments also.

I didn't mean to imply that red balloons have lost their symbolic meaning. I edited my original comment with your post. For everyone else, it used to say:

"Red Balloons are the most cliche thing ever. Clouds are fun to draw though!"

Thanks for sharing your story with us :)
