After pancreatic cancer tragically took the life of Saige Seibold's
father on May 13th, 2015, she and her widowed mother, Sandy, decided to
remember him in a beautiful way on Father's Day. The
pair released a "#1 Dad" balloon with an attached letter at the site of
his grave—and what happened afterwards will bring tears to your eyes.
The letter asked, "If you receive this [balloon], please make [Seibold's] day by sending a response telling her who and where you are from. Thank you in advance!"
"We thought the idea of the balloon, sending the balloon to heaven to her dad, was a good idea," Sandy told the NBC.
After a tricky ascent—the balloon ribbons initially got caught in a power line—a gust of wind blew the balloon and the note skywards. Seibold and her mother then left the cemetery to run some errands and return home, which was 25 miles away in Cement, OK.
But when the mother and daughter arrived to their house, Seibold discovered an unbelievable gift waiting for them. Tangled in the fence running along a pasture where she often worked with her father was the very same balloon and note she and her mother had just sent off. The message in her father's honor had flown straight home, the very same day.
Seibold explained, "I think we started crying because it was just like a message from him...It has given us a lot of peace."
