I happened to get an email update from the online grief site last week. I have suffered a lot of traumatic loss, the worst being the loss of my Mom (who was my best friend) almost three years ago to cancer. Well, I was just surfing around this site when I came across the 'after death communication' blog. I read the blog, and I thought to myself...."If Mom were to come and let me know she was here, she would be a butterfly". That was that. Well, I left the next day for vacation with my husband and kids. As we were checking into the campground, the most beautiful monarch butterfly came near me. This butterfly landed right in front of me and sat there for a long time. It fluttered all around me for at least 5 minutes. I thought, "of my goodness,,,,it's Mom!" I really thought that. Well, later that day I was at the beach with my kids and there was another monarch...right in front of me. As my kids were walking down the beach, that butterfly circled them over and over...Mom was loving up my kids! This continued the entire weekend...I swear....there was another beautiful butterfly the next day that landed on my daughter's hand. Lastly, I had a butterfly flying near my car today as I dropped off my kids for the first day of school. These cannot be a concidence...they are my Mom. She is telling me that she's beautiful, happy, and still watching over me and my kids. She's happy that we are happy. She loves us still. THANK YOU for opening my eyes to this wonderful thing....God is certainly good. As part of his comforting goodness, he revealed THE BIGGEST AND BRIGHTEST RAINBOW I have ever seen while we were driving through the rain this past weekend. I felt as if I was literally driving through God's love. Love never ends....it's true.
