Whenever I see a blue and black butterfly it tells me that my son is with me. He always said when he died he would come back as a butterfly because I love them so much. It was really weird that the week he passed away, there was a butterfly right outside his bedroom window. t would not move until I took its picture. It actually stayed in the same spot until I got my camera and snapped its picture. He will be gone 7 years come Sept. He is my forever 21 year old.
Any butterfly I see I think of all those parents who have also lost children. It is our way of reconnecting with each other.
When a butterfly lands on you, mamag15, you are being blessed. It could even be a blessing from your son.
The butterfly is a sign of healing and peace.

Thanks aknon. I do feel peace and blessings when I see a butterfly. I know Jake and his best friend Corey are okay as he too committed suicide in December.

I am dealing with depression but I know God is in control. Jake's little girl turns 7 next Friday and we have not seen her in three years. Emma was 3 months when her daddy died and now her mother took our rights away for no reason. I keep praying this will not last long. I miss that little girl as much as I miss my son. Please keep praying that her mother will come around soon.

I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Suffering from the loss of your son is sad enough, but, missing the visits from your granddaughter, too, is SO sad and unnecessary. Prayers headed your way. Let us know how it goes.

Thank you marine5153. I did see Emma last August thanks to her other grandma who is also a dear friend. She wanted my husband to see her before he passed away as his health was getting worse. He passed away this past Valentine's Day. It was so great seeing him with our little girl. Emma is now 10.

Have faith, mamag. God can soften even the hardest of hearts - but even for Him, it takes time. Hugs.

Mamag, you are so often in my thoughts. I fully understand depression and I wish I could come up with the words to say. Hugs and prayers.

Thank you trynfindit. I am learning to live life one day at a time. I know there are still days I wish my son and husband were here but then I think of the pain they were suffering. It hurts but I am doing good. I thank you for your hugs and prayers as they mean so much to me. I thank God that He put sweet people in my life like you and so many others who are there for me. Sending you lots of hugs and blessings as well.
My father died 9 years ago this past May. At his burial a butterfly kept flying around my mom. It stayed right around her face the whole time. When we left it followed us. When we got home and my mom got out of the car there was that butterfly flying around her. Every time she goes outside one flies around her and we say its my dad letting her know he's still around her. It's just so amazing! :-)
