Before my brother, David, passed away, we had a few conversations about life after death. He was suffering from numerous health challenges at the time. Once, he told me that after he died, he would send me butterflies. He does.
Funny enough, I get this tickly feeling in my stomach, otherwise known as “butterflies in my stomach” when certain ones arrive around me. Not all, just certain ones.
This morning, during my last dream of the night; I received four large and beautiful butterflies. In my dream, I was in bed and they flew in my bedroom; and landed on my body, up and around my head. I woke Rick to show him the butterflies, because I just couldn’t believe my eyes. He said, “that’s nice” and rolled over and went back to sleep. It’s not the same for him. <3
One of these large and beautiful golden colored butterflies transformed into “Ginger,” our tiny Siamese mix cat who had recently died. She merely did what she always had, and that was to curl up lovingly up and around my head during sleeptime.
Thank you, David, for the gift.
The butterflies were Ginger, Zeke, Casey and Shadow. I feel now that they are all together again, scampering in God’s flower filled fields.
