It is amazing to me that there are small ways that you come into my life and still show me that you are there. This past Saturday I took a trip to Kaneohe this time not solely to see you but this time it was to go and visit a wonderful woman's house who raises butterflies. It was one of the coolest experiences that I have ever had and I knew you were there I felt you. We got there a little late but then we learned about butterflies about how to tell a female from a male, how long it takes to turn from a grown caterpillar to a butterfly, I got to hold a caterpillar or two and I got to hold and feed a few butterflies so much fun. And I know that you would have had a blast. When we went into the big cage that the butterflies grew up in, that was where we fed them, I stood there with two cotton balls on my hand with sugar water on it, and on top of the two cotton balls sat two butterflies. Is it weird that I felt you standing there with me? Then I look down not only do I have two on my hand but I also have one on my shirt too.
After we were done holding and feeding the butterflies it was time to release them. Let them fly free and send a wish from me to the heavens. Do you know what I wished for? Did you hear my wish?
It was an awesome experience and I am so glad that we went!
I miss you so much but it is so great that you are so close to where the butterflies are being born. It is great that not only did I get to go and release a beautiful creature into the wild I got to spend a little time out with you. I will do it again but I have to admit that it was a great way to start Childhood Cancer Awareness month.
I love you so very much, more than all the stars in the sky seen and unseen times infinity. I will see you soon and thank you for being there in my dreams.
Love always,
Mommy
