In Search of Emily
Clara hunted on her own for the owner of the note. Fortunately, Emily had included the first name on the paper so, in addition to the partial address on the paper, it was a little easier to locate her. Clara asked local postal workers and posted messages on community boards and social media about the balloon.
The way to finding Emily was never easy, especially with the incomplete address from which Clara had to unravel in the good actions of strangers. She shared the story of the balloon with all whom she came across, many of whom were moved by the story and ready to lend a helping hand or piece together the clues for her along the way.
After days of scouring the neighborhood, Clara finally found the house belonging to Emily’s family. She wrote them a letter detailing everything that had happened-she found the balloon, read the note, and here’s how much it meant. By the time the letter reached Emily’s parents, they were stunned and deeply moved.
