[tri-wings] Re: Rebecca's birthday

I am forwarding this for Kathryn.  I haven't been at my computer for  
almost 2 full days, and I apologize for it being late.  I'm so sorry,  
but I'm so glad that the butterfly came to give Kathryn and Rebecca a  
visit.

Hi Sheila, please could I ask you to post this to the list, as I  
cannot do so via my Blackberry? Many thanks

Today is Rebecca's birthday, and she would have been 5 years old!   
Thank you to those who have remembered her, I really do appreciate it!

It has been a doubly bitter-sweet day, as I know that my mom would  
have been one of those who called, but she joined Rebecca in heaven 3  
weeks after Matthew was born in May last year.

When I was at the church this morning to put flowers, balloons and a  
teddybear in the garden of remembrance, I looked down, and there on  
the ground was the most beautiful butterfly, gently flapping (?) its  
wings, just resting.......I watched it for a long time, convinced my  
baby had given me a tink! When I left, it was gone, job done?

Although I am not consumed with daily heartache or pain, I was  
surprised at the strength of the emotion and tears that appeared  
today........still much longing, even though there is acceptance.

Thanks for listening.

Much love
