Our precious angel Katie made her presence felt several times throughout the course of our day today. It was the appearance of yellow butterflies nearby at various times, and in various places which brought those aching thoughts of my baby girl back to the forefront of my mind.
At one point, the three kids were in the pool and Big B and I were sitting on the deck watching them when E shouted and pointed...."Katie, Katie!"
We turned to look and there fluttering nearby was a beautiful yellow butterfly playfully dancing with the summer breeze.
I smiled and told them that yes, their sister is nearby, keeping watch and helping to protect her family...as a guardian angel does. This I believe.
Earlier, as I was speaking on the phone outside by the pool, perhaps that same yellow butterfly had appeared and fluttered closely to my shoulder.
My first sign of the day.
Even though my heart sings when I see the yellow butterfly, the sadness and grief of not having Katie with me is felt to the core. I miss my baby girl.

Greetings to you. I couldn't help but comment on your "Butterfly story!" My daugher lost a baby "Kallie"at birth on 6-27 several yrs ago. A large yellow swallowtail butterfly has appeared at the most amazing times. Landing on a boogie board while we were having a deep visit about our granddaugter in the water. On a kayak to visit a brother. Circling a tree over and over as it was planted in memory. For over a 1/2 hour at her grave. I could go on and on..... The clothes I had bought for the baby and had forgotton about were covered with butterflys. My daughter and I were talking about Kallie when we looked at the licence plate of the car in front of us and it said, "Butterfly!" and then 1 flew by. What peace her butterfly has brought us. To know that a rebirth has taken place. My heart goes out to you. We are adopting from China with a LID of 7-14-06. Really hoping for an older child at this point. Many blessings to you. You brought me heart-felt memories and through the tears I have the joy of knowing eternity is real. -Karen in MT
