Butterflies are God's beautiful creations. How great it is to see them form from a cocoon into a monarch butterfly. Your mom is probably helping Jesus with his beautiful gardens of flowers which are adorned with butterflies

    Hi Rosemary, I read my reviews right away as it is the highlight of my day.
    But because it is so hard to go back and forth with thank you responses, it is always easier to respond to the most recent ones. And so often I get behind and this is what happens.

    I don't like that feature here. I remember when Jan was here she tried to get that changed so we could better respond in the appropriate order.

    However, I do appreciate you just the same as if I had just gotten this review ten minutes or an hour ago.

    So thank you so very much for these lovely comments and for your kindness and patience. I do appreciate your dear comments about my mom.

    Thanks again, my sweet friend! Love, Debi

Your poem was so lovely and moving. I loved your rhymes in addition to the sentiment behind the verses. I am glad that your mother is still with you, in a way.
As always, thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Butterflies hold a very special place in my heart. I was visited the first time at my 4 yr old son's grave. It landed on my hand and simply stayed for a visit. It lifted the anger and tears. I've had many other visits too. I believe their sent from Heaven to touch our soles. I loved your poem and your thoughts about your Mom.

Smiles, Carol

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-You wrote a lovely poem for your mother
and her love of butterflies.
-You have some interesting examples of
how butterflies have appeared when you
are around, as in the golfing outing,
and they were there throughout the nine holes.
-It was very nice of your daughter to honor
her grandmother, and you plan to surprise
some of your friends on the site with new butterflies.
-A good concluding verse, especially the last line.
-Thanks for sharing everything and have a great day.

Best wishes and thinking of summertime when the butterflies appear again!

Beautiful story poem and I love it when you share about your beautiful mother. I know that God sent you those butterflies to remind you that your mom was a beautiful new creation and we won't know what our new bodies will be like but we know it will be as different from our current bodies like caterpillars to butterflies!

    Helen, you are so very kind. I guess if anyone knows here how I felt about my mother, it is you. My mom was fascinated by God's beauty of nature anyway, so these decorated much of her house because we always bought her things that had butterflies on or in them. Then my dad kept them until the time that he would have to live at the VA.
    I have a little more to tell you about this woman I compare you to, so I will email it to you. Thanks for the lovely comments and the lovely six stars too. You are so gracious!! Lotsa love, Debi

Hi Debi, I too love butterflies. I'm sure that whenever you see a butterfly you think of your mother's love. Of special note:

One night I dreamt that I had passed
Mom welcomed me with sweet apprise

(D, that's a beautiful dream, but it's just a dream for now. You're not going anywhere for a long while.)

Beautiful graphics. A pleasure to read. Xo. M

I suppose that like some people have spirit animals, it is not unnatural for someone to have spirit butterflies. It certainly seems like the case with your mom, and quite likely you as well.

This is such a beautiful story. I have also heard of this concept a number of times from friends. My son-in-law has this things for Cardinals in relation to a sister who passed away a few years ago. There are always Cardinals around him. Thanks so much for sharing. It was a joy to read! Julie

    Do not worry about it! You can end up spending more time replying to reviews than the reviews took themselves. Bless you! Julie
