Desiree, a 4-year-old girl, was sobbing quietly over her father, Ken, who had died nine months earlier. She was hugging a photograph of her father with her fingers running around his face. "Daddy", she said softly, "Why won't you come back?"
Instead of gradually adjusting to her father's death, Desiree refused to accept it. "Daddy will be home soon," she'd tell her mother. "He's at work." When she played with her toy telephone, she pretended she was chatting with her father. "I miss you, Daddy," she'd say, "When will you come back?" Desiree's situation made her mother worried.
Days later, it was Ken's birthday. "How will I send him a card?" Desiree asked her mother. "How about if we tie a letter to a balloon," her mother said, "and send it up to heaven?" Desiree's eyes immediately lit up.
Her mother took her to a store and Desiree picked out a balloon with HAPPY BIRTHDAY above a drawing of The Little Mermaid(美人鱼). Desiree and her father had often watched it. The child's eyes shone as they were on the way to Ken's grave. Then Desiree dictated a letter to her dad. "Tell him, 'Happy birthday, I love you and miss you,'" she rattled off(快速说). " 'I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday in January.' "
Her mother wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper, which was then wrapped in plastic and tied to the end of the string on the balloon. Finally, Desiree released the balloon. For almost an hour, they watched the shining spot of silver grow smaller and smaller till disappear. "Now Dad's going to write back to me," Desiree declared confidently.
Every day since they'd released the balloon, Desiree had asked her mother, "Do you think Daddy has my balloon yet?" Several weeks passed, and she stopped asking.
