Making Sure We’re OK

Filed under: Profile — Dale @ 11:14 am

The orange-and-black butterfly is back in our garden, and it came to check on me last night. I was getting our biking bags down from our guest room and as I started down the stairs the butterfly landed on the railing less than two feet away. It sat in the sun, gently fluttering its wings, showing me its delicate beauty. Its back is a very dark brown, and there are scalloped orange stripes running down each wing. The end of each wing has eight white dots, which form its unique identifying pattern. At the bottom of each wing are orange bands with black pinpoint dots. Two delicate antenna protrude from each side of its head, giving it the look of a space creature. It was the epitome of beauty and comfort.

As I watched it my confidence grew that this was Ines making sure we are well. That she can still come back ten years after her death is further tribute to the type of life she lived.

After several minutes I began to make my way down the stairs, and the butterfly took flight, circling round and round in the garden. As I reached the last step it landed on my arm, with its head toward me, as if to say, “don’t worry about anything … I’ll always be here for you.” A warm feeling passed over me, and I was comforted.
