(((Nikki))) That's beautiful, thank you for sharing it!
Well, I've never had a butterly come to me and have so much meaning attached to it. I did have a baby bird sit on my head one day for the longest time in the garden. Does that count? ((hugs))

I couldn’t remember what the signifigance of butterflies where to Mark and why they were stirring up memories. Last night I was going through the scrapbook my mom and I made of Mark’s life. I found one of the memorial things which we did at the funeral. I totally forgot out it until you mentioned butterflies.
My mom had these little cards made up with this poem on the front: "A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it." On the back it says: "Today we celebrate life with the release of butterflies. The animals you have been given will emerge from their envelopes and alight on your hand for a moment before flying off. Butterflies, a symbol of life, and freedom, were always special to Mark. Open the envelope and allow the butterfly to emerge on its own. It might take a few moments for the beautiful creature to adjust to the light and temperature before it flies off. These animals are natives, will thrive and insure the continuation of their species, keeping memory alive." Mark’s memory is living on through butterflies and so is your dad Nikkey.

((BJ)) Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem with us Butterflies were never that special to either Dad or I. I always thought they were beautiful, but they held no significance to me.
I guess we really don't get to pick what sign's God and our loved ones send us.. what is vital is that we are open enough to receive the gift in any form it may come.

Dear Nikkey,
as this is your thread, i could not but read your story. and i found it immensely touching. i am sorry for your loss. i do think there must be something to butterflies. Perhaps your Dad pegged it with his quote... they do represent metamorphosis, from something that lives on earth, to something which flies light and free... like the spirit. May i share with you very simply that a friend of mine lost her mom about a year ago... and soon afterwards a yellow butterfly (not white, red, blue, etc, but yellow, like yours) started visiting her regularly. and my friend too, felt it was her mom coming to comfort her through the butterfly. So... is it kooky? i dunno. it seems like, something is happening here. Take care Nikkey. I wish you strength as you struggle with your grief in memory of your dad's passing. And I am glad your yellow butterfly found you, and you had those special moments of connection. ~ waves ~ Quote:

Nik... I'm sure that butterly will continue to comfort you.
I'm delighted he visits you when your hear aches most... he's quite the sensitive butterfly, isn't he! IF he ever sticks around in my yard long enough to allow it, I'm going to blow a kiss for him to capture and bring your way! ♫ Addy |
