This message is for you Dax Reason. ‘THIS POOR DELUDED CHILD?” What is the harm of a young child believing at his young age that his grandmother is getting balloons from him? If this is how he is dealing with the grief of someone that he loved and lost, what is the harm???? It never said (the article) that she was hiding in the sky. This child believes that grandmom is up in heaven with God, this will last a short time, for, as he grows older he won’t be sending balloons in the sky, just as he won’t believe in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny etc. He loved his grandmother in life, he misses her, will not see her again until he dies. And you’re making an assumption that the parents really believe that the grandmother is hiding in the sky. REALLY????? Well, Dax Reason, if people were hiding in the sky, we would have them falling out of the sky!!!!! We would see trillions of faces in the clouds!!!! We would see our own loved ones wouldn’t we???? We would see our pets that we buried. Hell, when I was a child I believed that God had furniture up in the heaven’s and that we were looking down at all our loved ones on earth, waiting to join us in heaven. ‘DELUDED?” Tell me something, what do you believe in Dax Reason? Tell me how do you grieve when you loose a love one? Do you go to the cemetery, and place flowers at the grave? Do you pray at the grave? Or, do you just bury someone and forget about the good times you had with that person? Share with me, how and what you believe happens after death. You see, at the age of 13, I was raped by my grandfather because my mother wanted more children. I had twin boys, who at the age of three months were drowned by my cousin. I saw the whole thing and couldn’t do anything. The authorities searched for him and the two other assistants. That was fifty three years ago!!!!! I found my dead children in a “cold cellar” and I buried them with my bare hands in the dirt and begged God at a young age of 13 years old that I wasn’t burying them alive. Fifty three years later it still haunts me. Fifty three years, with the authorities looking for my cousin in the hills of Mexico where my cousin was hiding, I found out a few months ago, at his sister’s death, that he had died by cancer in Louisiana. The authorities never found him, and I notified them of what was learned at his sister’s funeral. And you know what angers me the most???? That he got away with the murders of my beloved children, never punished as he should have been. And I, have no idea where I buried my beloved children. There was no marker, (yes, I went back to the place of where it happened with my therapist), and to put closure to this, we are having a Memorial Service to my children. So don’t be so judgmental with this as you put it ‘DELUTED CHILD.” This child will have beautiful memories of what he did for his grandmother with the balloons in the sky, whereas he will soon forget and stop doing it. Whereas he will have had closure. It is I, who is searching for closure fifty three years later, and, having a memorial service for my babies. And DON’T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT I’M DELUDED. I don’t know what happened in your life that caused you to write what you did, what loss you had, what closure you haven’t had. But don’t make judgement calls. You’re not GOD!!!!

This poor deluded child… Yes it’s fine to symbolically honor ones deceased loved ones but I he hope doesn’t actually believe she is hiding in the sky… What’s worse, I hope his parents don’t really believe it either. It’s the new millennium, when will people stop glorifying false beliefs in the supernatural. There are no monsters under your bed, no fairies in the meadow, no ghosts in heaven and no invisible dieties in the sky either. It’s not nice to lie to children about the true functioning of the universe. It can confuse them for life…

Thank you precious child of God for loving your grandmother so much not only in death, but most definitely in life. You will see her one day in heaven and share all the happy times again. She is probably saving those balloons to let you know how much she appreciates them and you thinking of her in such a thoughtful, kind, loving way. God bless you my child for a beautiful gesture.
