A 13-year-old named Saige Seibold lives in Cement, Oklahoma, and lost her dad Johnny to pancreatic cancer back in May. (Cement is about an hour outside Oklahoma City.)
About a month later, she and her mom went to visit his grave on Father’s Day, and released some balloons with a note, asking whoever found them to get in touch.
Which didn’t go well at first, because they got tangled in some power lines. But a gust of wind eventually blew them away, and Saige watched them drift off into the sky.
After that, she and her mom ran errands for a few hours, and drove home. And that’s when Saige noticed something in a field a few hundred feet from their house.
It turned out the balloons had drifted 25 miles . . . and landed in their backyard.
Saige and her mom say it can’t just be a coincidence, and think it’s her dad’s way of letting them know he’s okay. And even though they miss him, they know he’s not really gone.
