I absolutely LOVE butterflies! My daughter (who was born with severe heart defects)and I have always loved butterflies. We went through many difficult times with her having so many health issues - we were the best of friends. She passed away 3 years ago and promised to send me butterflies from heaven. Every time I see a butterfly I say, "Hi Jessica!" because I know she is still with me. :)
