Balloon Released at Gravesite Flies 25 Miles, Straight Home to Family

Balloon Released at Gravesite Flies 25 Miles, Straight Home to Family
A man's wife and daughter released a balloon at his grave to send a "message to heaven" – and had it answered later that day.

On her first Father's Day without her dad, 13-year-old Saige Seibold and her mother Sandy decided to "send a message to Heaven."

They were stunned by the sudden reply.

John Seibold had passed away just a month earlier, and his wife and daughter (pictured left) visited his grave to release a balloon carrying their message.

The note asked whoever found it to contact Saige and "make her day."

After returning home to Cement, Oklahoma, 25 miles away from the cemetery, Saige took a walk in the pasture where she used to spend time with her dad. There, caught on a barbed-wire fence, was the balloon and her note.

"I think I started crying," Sandy told KFOR News. "It felt like a message from him."
