Yes, it's been a while since I posted. I don't know why, just been in a funk. After reading blogs tonight I felt the need to post. One particular blog touched me in a way I could relate to. Amazing you might say. It is the story of butterflies. You see, one of the bloggers lost her son in February, a heartache I could never imagine. In one of her darkest hours she was touched by the rarity of not one but three beautiful yellow butterflies. Following her in her yard as if to relay a message of hope and comfort. This brought her unexplainable peace.
You see, the butterfly phenomenon has touched me as well. June 3rd was the three year anniversary of my mother's passing. On the day we buried her the cemetery was adorned with dozens of beautiful butterflies fluttering about and resting wherever their hearts contented. There was no fear that people were present. It somehow transformed a place of sadness and despair into a place of beauty and tranquility. It is said that butterflies and rainbows are the most significant signs from loved ones that they have passed into heaven. It is their message of comfort. That day I had both of those signs and that summer I had many encounters with butterflies and a few rainbows along the way too. This past week on the very anniversary I walked out to my backyard after getting home from work and a large beautiful Monarch butterfly appeared and lingered for awhile. Once again, truly amazing. So wherever you may be....be free little butterfly, may your heart be full of laughter.
"May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun, and find your shoulder to light on To bring you luck, happiness and riches today, tomorrow and beyond." ~Irish Proverb
