I once read that butterflies represent the spirits of the departed. The appearance of a butterfly in a dream is supposed to mean that we are being protected and guided. I’ve found comfort in this thought, since both of my parents are deceased and I still miss them terribly.
I’ve gotten better at going on with my life. I’m learning to look past the sadness and find some bright side. It’s good that I’m sad, because it means I had two parents who loved me so well. It’s good that I was loved so well, because it makes me strong enough to keep going.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength. Loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
- Lao Tzu
