He had often watched hot air balloons go far far away as child and wondered whether they were reaching the stars or perhaps the moon. He often laughed back at how wild his imagination ran when He was a child. Today, as He went over the final checks with the hot air balloon operator, He wondered how interesting the circle of life was, He had met her in the park one evening when He was feeding the birds and watching the hot air balloons in the sky. He saw her from a distance distraught and lost in her own world. He politely asked her if He could help her. She explained that her dog’s leash broke off, and he ran off somewhere. He helped her find her dog and won her heart. They began dating shortly after their first meeting, and it had been two years since they had met. Today, He was going to ask her to be his wife in the most special way while aboard a hot air balloon ride… _____________________________________________________________ She had heard that the town was to host a fair, and the highlight would be the circus and the hot air balloon design contest. She had just moved to the town and decided it would be a good way to make friends. She went from stall to stall, played a few games, and won a few toys. She was munching on some cotton candy when He saw her from a distance. He had heard that She had moved to town from his friends. He walked over to her and introduced himself. She responded warmly and spoke for a while. Soon, an announcement came that the hot air balloon design competition winners would be announced. He excused himself as He was one of the participants. Shortly, She heard the town chief announce his name as a winner of the first prize for his fantastic design. She clapped and whistled. He went up the stage and picked up his prize. He was asked to say a few words. He took over the mike and said, “I would like to first thank the Almighty Lord for this win, without his blessing this would have been a dream. Secondly, I would like to thank my parents for always encouraging me to follow my dreams. Lastly but most importantly, I would like to thank the lady I met today whose luck rubbed off on me and I won the first prize. I really should take her out for dinner to say thank you, what’s say guys?”… _____________________________________________________________ He had inherited his dad’s hot air balloon business, shortly after his retirement. He was excited as it was something He had dreaming of it ever since He was a little boy. He had been thinking that a little bit of a renovation could help bring in more business. He decided to call in an interior designer to look over the office to offer some advice. She had been excited to work on this project as She would be reliving her childhood. After all She had gone on her first on hot air balloon ride with his father (the then hot air balloon operator). She walked in his office bright and early. She met with him and immediately began explaining what all could stay, what needed an upgrade. He was mesmerized by her passion. He decided to take the plunge and asked her out. That was over 25 years ago, He explained to his grand children. He smiled as He saw her walk over and gives him a glass of lemonade. He knew took the right risk that afternoon and it had made his life more beautiful filled with love… _____________________________________________________________
