Butterflies

wasn't

 I love butterflies. They remind me of my mother. She loved them too.

• At one point in life, we lived along the migration trail of the Monarch butterflies and as they flitter around our house she would wish them well and told them to return quickly.
• My dad bought my mother several butterfly pins as birthday gifts. And when she died, my sisters and I were all given one of her pins. We wear them on special family occasion.
• I started buying particular plants to attach butterflies and when this Swallowtail Butterfly showed up in my yard, I was overjoyed.
