Losing a parent means losing a piece of yourself, especially if you are young and don’t understand why your parents, whom you love unconditionally, are gone.
No matter how much time passes, the excruciating pain doesn’t seem to go away. Fortunately, when we experience sadness, we usually have good people in our lives who will help us overcome our sadness if possible.
Based on a true event, Kingston Technology presents a short film that leaves no one alone.
Over 7.4 million people have seen this heartwarming film.
After losing his mother, little Jerry is now begging the policeman on the other end of the line to help him find her in heaven.
Unaware of what he is about to hear, Officer Lee picks up the phone.
But how do you explain to a five-year-old that their mother will never come back and never sing to them again? Just don’t.
Jerry is instructed by Officer Lee to take a red balloon, write a message to his mother on a piece of paper, and let it fly through the air until he reaches her. Jerry writes a lot of painful notes and buys a lot of crimson balloons, but his mother never gets them. He then calls Lee one more time and you will be moved by what the cop does next. His act of generosity brightens Jerry’s days and eases his suffering.
The video is worth watching and sharing with others. Check it out below.
