Mother Butterfly~

On the day of my Mother's funeral ~ just after they lowered her into the ground, a beautiful black and blue butterfly with orange spots gracefully greeted each flower at her graveside.

However, the first flower she came to was a beautiful orange lily~

Today just as I was leaving a meeting I spied the most beautiful black and blue butterfly with orange spots visiting these flowers~ it's the first time I've seen this same kind of butterfly since my Mother's funeral.. and surprisingly it's exactly a month later... and it was exactly 11:00 when I spied it... I just had to smile and think it was my momma telling me everything's going to be o.k.~

I miss you Mother and love you more~

Saying Good Bye to My Dear Sweet Mother~

Well it's been a while since I last posted~

My very sweet and special Mother - Mary Catherine Prince passed away last month, Friday, June 25, 2010. She fought a good fight with stage 4 lung cancer! She died peacefully with me by her side holding her precious purple hand all the way. We buried her on Tuesday, June 29th.

It's been a month now and everyday is hard~ I think of her all day long; the night time is the hardest. As I try to go to sleep I can't help but include her in my prayers and think of things I want to tell her. I know it will take some time.

The other day I was taking her clothes off the hangers and trying to fold them and put them away~ it just got too much for me to handle. But as I stood there with my hand on her pj's, I somehow could feel her holding my hand.. I know that sounds crazy but it even was enough to make me look at my hand.. I really thought she was holding my hand! It was a comforting feeling and one I wanted to hold on to.

I love you Mother~ and miss you
