I took the
kiddos out to play last Friday afternoon and as I walked up onto the
deck I saw something move in between the stairs... I looked and caught a
quick glimpse of a pretty brown butterfly with yellow wings. I thought
for sure my eyes were deceiving me as I don’t often see butterflies.
I came inside later and tried to find
the butterfly online without success and then this morning one of my day
home fathers and I were having a chat about kids and bugs and he
mentioned the Mourning Cloak butterfly and described the exact butterfly
I had seen!
I know a lot of Babyloss mothers have
always found butterflies a comfort after losing a child. While I always
thought butterflies were beautiful, I never really did relate. Until
last week. It felt like another one of those little signs that I could
cling to (sounds desperate, I know but hey... it’s all part of the
babyloss package!)... there it was, waiting out on the deck for everyone
to come outside to play. ;)
This
particular butterfly reminds me of the fall and all of the colours that
remind me of Claire which makes this butterfly just a little bit more
beautiful in my eyes!
