My son its your 26th Birthday. You have been in Heaven only a few short months. I am sending you a balloon and I hope it reaches you!! Tell your grandparents Hi for me . Love you my son

[@TammyKitti]

I may have only, been three years old, But now I walk on the streets of gold. And when I look down I can see, My sweet family staring back at me. Now when you see tractors, you will always think of me, For I'm riding mine along the golden streets. And I now understand how the sun turns off, And why the clouds are so beautiful and soft. I can't believe I live in Heaven, such a beautiful place. I get to see miracles, love and grace. So mommy and daddy, "please don't be sad." You were the best parents I could ever have. But God showed me that my life on earth was done. He needed me in heaven, just like he needed His own son. So please know that I am happy, and everything will be okay. And when we meet again it will be a glorious day! Now it's time for me go and bring this letter to an end. And I will hold you in my heart..until we meet again!!!!

@M Detlef hes addressed your claims. He had a fence around the pool. River did something they couldn't expect. He got the gate open somehow. Now take a hike

[@fish1648]

@M Detlef a pool alarm don't always work I build pools so I know

[@fish1648]

@M Detlef have you ever had a pool alarm on your pool you do know that it goes off every time you go past the gate or when you get in the pool so some people get use to the alarm so get off your fucking high horse and quit being a fucking asshole

[@stephaniesimon6892]

@M Detlef he lost his child. Leave him alone. It was a tragic accident. From the sounds of it they took the precaussions they needed with a fence. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! the last thing he wants or needs is to read some ignorant comments about it being his fault. It was NOT their fault. So leave him alone!

[@ViciousSadistic]

My best friend...just died. 17 hours ago. Thank you Granger. I have a way to talk to him. And send him from this realm properly.

[@LetsLaugh2Getha]

I know, right?! We did this for my grandmother when helping my son understand her death at the tender age of 5. Who could have ever guessed how real this song would become for Granger and Amber. My heart aches so so so much for them right now. The pain never gets easier or goes away you just learn a new "normal" to your day to day life.

[@ramblinmic6324]

Absolutely has more meaning and significance now.

[@adamzeroGYT]

I'm a believer that songs find you when you need them... I just recently found this song on a trip back home from TN where I was visiting my grandma in the hospital.... she may not be with us much longer. This song popped up and after listening to it a ton, I feel like it's helped me some

Just came across this video this evening, and it reminded me of when my father in law was about to pass away from cancer, and my oldest son who was 16 at the time, actually said, "Papaw is retiring for a 3rd time(meaning he had already retired from 2 earthly jobs). On the day of the funeral we were picking up 200 balloons to be set free after the funeral, and out of all of them, I looked up and saw once the said Happy Retirement. I feel it was his papaw up there telling him he was looking down and letting us know he was happy and finally with Jesus.

todays my grandmas birthday, june 6th, she passed away 2 years ago as of june 8th, my grandma raised me all of my life, never did i leave her house or even sight without a hug, the last time i seen her was at the peak of covid and it was the only time in my entire life i didn't give her a hug when i left because my mom was worried i would get sick. she didn't die of covid, she passed because she couldn't afford her heart medication and high blood pressure medication, and she didn't tell us about it.

This is an amazing song and music video. It tears you up with the irony of this song.

🎈🎈🎈I’ve been following for a while now, but just seeing this beautiful video for the first time. It really touched my heart, as I also know the grief of losing a child. My son, my first born, took his life on January 9th , 2019. 💔 I had him for 35 years. He was a beautiful person inside & out❤️All my adult life I’ve been on the fence about God. I wanted you both to know that through you, I’ve accepted God whole heartedly. So I want to say thank you so much for all you do to help others find the Lord❤️I’ve really struggled with horrible grief since that day and I’ve been stuck for over 2 years in daily grief and my life just stopped. I turned to alcohol to avoid feeling the grief fully. That’s been my life for 2 years. I now want to go to God and let him help me to move forward. So again, Thank You 🙏🏻 for sharing your life and grief with the world. Because of you, I am seeking God instead of alcohol. I still have a ways to go to start living my life fully, but I know I will get there. I am so sorry for your loss of your sweet River, that you have to be in this group that no one ever wants to be in. You’re in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May God continue to help you to spread his word. ❤️

[@deemkn]

We’re all sending one up there for River today.

[@koregonbeads]

So sorry for your loss, this balloon video rings with me...and it will always with you now that you have lost your sweet child. We lost our grown daughter five years ago (they are always your baby) we let go of butterfly balloons to make it easier for her niece and nephews. To help them understand that aunt Jenn is now with God and when you see a butterfly it is her flying by to say hi. I wish I could tell you that the pain will get better...but after five years the ache is there, and what it is ..is our love and memories of missing our baby girl, for you your River. It does change to a different ache, but there will be days that those eyes leak and you can't help that the memories flood in. Much love and prayers to you and your family.

I lost my Mom and that's something you can never get over. I will be sending her balloons with messages on Mother"s Day. I love and miss her so much. Granger this video touched me deeply. The song is just so beautiful. You are meant to do this. Thank you for this song and video. 🙌🙌😊😀

Heard the news this morning about River. Granger as a father I know that this is hard as hell but know that one day you wil meet again. Prayers to you and your loved ones and keep your head high god won’t put nothing on you that you cannot handle. Just remember that if you need anything we are here for you. 🙏

Hey River, we miss you and we love you, things aren't so great down here, but we know that we'll get through it. You hold your papa's hand and get ahold of Rio's leash and enjoy that brighter land until we join you some day.

RIP River. May god be with the family in this hard time. I cannot think of how this could feel if this happened to my 2 year old son but I am praying for the smiths and sending healing energy that they definitely need. Me and my son Lucas love you guys and river. You know have an amazing guardian angel looking out for you guys. Heaven couldn't ask for a better angel then that. Peace and love to you

The red solo balloon 🎈 at the end gives me chills still to this day❤️ we miss you Riv. Edit: my cat who was my child passed and this means so much more to me, I can’t imagine loosing a child.

It's amazing, it's almost like this song was perfectly written for Riv a couple months before he passed. This is just one of those things God does I guess. Rest in peace River, say "Yee Yee" to Jesus for us.

Saw him recently at a venue of 1100 people. It was up there with the best concert I have ever seen. Took my wife and 2 year old daughter. We released balloons in the parking lot for our loved ones and a red one for River. Super special moment and concert. Cant wait to see him again. Yee Yee!
