Balloons Travel 35 Miles to Bring Strangers Together for Heart-Wrenching Reason | ABC News Blogs - Yahoo:

A simple set of balloons floating into the sky has now afforded three grieving children the opportunity to throw their mom a proper funeral.

When Finney's mother, Renee, who was only 42-years-old, abruptly died from cancer right before Mother's Day, she and her younger brother and sister were suddenly left trying to raise funds they just didn't have, at least $10,000, for her burial.

Each of the children  wrote notes from their hearts,

 pouring...

their personal thoughts for their beloved mom...

onto paper.

(RAIN: holy ghost :TREES)

They then...

 turned to the skies,

fastening the notes to the helium balloons and released them,

 hoping...

 they'd reach her in heaven.

Finney was admittedly skeptical of the balloon idea, but was willing to give it a shot to have one last conversation with her mom.

And now she couldn't be happier that she did.
