Thank you to Emily for this beautiful butterfly pic for Ella. This was a moving butterfly, so I know it took Emily many tries to get this picture perfect.
Thanks, Lea for sending me this beautiful poem. I plan on reading it tomorrow (unless I get shy) at my support group's annual memorial service. Lea, you are so thoughtful.
My Butterfly
I long to feel the soft weight of you
to welcome you home, with kisses
on silky round cheeks.
Instead my arms ache with the
weight of your absence,
the empty places that were meant for you
to grow into.
My love for you will last an eternity
My hopes and dreams now carried
on the fragile wings of each butterfly passing...
