A red star on Mexican Sky for Andrew

A red balloon was released in the Dragon's garden for Andrew McNaughton, Nick Wilford's son. With it went the prayers  and thoughts of his Mexican friends, Father and Mother Dragon and all dwarves. Since 11 am in UK was 5 am here, we did it when sun was rising over the sky. Godspeed, Andrew.






"What we do in life, echoes in Eternity." 


Thanks to all of my friends who swiftly came to my defense before Sheriff Gwen Gardner at the Stockade Brigade. Sheriff Gwen awarded Samantha Geary with 9 points for the use of Old English in my defense. Since that was the highest score she was the winner of my bribe $5 Amazon Card. Congratulations, Sam!

Today Sir David Power Kings is on trial. If you can, drop by the Stockade and show the valiant cosmic knight your support. 



Dragon Hugs to you all.

  1. And thus, your red balloon, floats away and embraces the other red balloons. A powerful message of symbolism that brings forth moments of sadness, of hope, of reflection, for Andrew and for Nick and his family.

  17. Hi Al .. what a lovely thought to have done - Andrew seemed such a wonderful son - while the red balloon memories will remind us of the times we knew him ... The Wilfords had courage in bucketfuls in their helping Andrew attain his dreams ... they did so much for him ...

    With thoughts and I'll be thinking of your Mexican sky with its red balloon ... Hilary

  19. Al,

    I loved your balloon...a star! And the pictures of the release were very moving. In the last one, although the balloon is nothing but a speck, still showed the outline of the star. This was a very moving and inspirational post. You are one in a million.
