'A Visit From My Babies?'

by Terri
(Tyldesley UK)

This is a tragic tale of my two young cats who both died in identical circumstances but 5 months apart. Both were found dead in the grounds of a local school only 25 metres from home. Phoebe died in November and then we adopted Charlie as Phoebe's brother seemed so lonely without her.

Charlie was found dead a week ago. Four days after Charlies death, I went into the back garden to get the watering can and stopped in my tracks as I saw 2 fully inflated yet 'baby' sized balloons bobbing up and down in the breeze right by my shed where the babies loved to play. One balloon was green and the other purple. Both were covered in tiny white stars and tied together with White ribbon.

I just stood rooted to the spot and immediately felt that my two kitties were trying to tell me that they are safe and TOGETHER (they had never met as one had replaced the other, however I knew they had found each other and were looking out for one another, safe and happy. I wonder if balloons signify anything specific? Has this ever happened to anyone else? I would love to know.
