Every year Emily Hinchberger, 11, sends a letter to her father, who died 11 years ago. She ties the letter to a balloon and sends it on its way.

“She loved the idea of being able to communicate with her dad,” her mother, Rebecca Crawford, told KSBW. “I think that was an easy way as a child to understand that it would get to him.”
