I've always thought butterflies are magic. You just have to think about the transformation they go through to become their beautiful fluttering magnificence and it's simply mind-blowing. I think if you can still see magic in nature and the simple things in life, you are one of the lucky ones. x

Beautiful Sandra, just beautiful! I am not sure when I started noticing butterflies more, and they are the white ones mostly, but I always say “oh hello Mum” ...maybe it’s the nature connection because she enjoyed growing flowers and seeing gardens as I now do, and maybe it’s the pair of butterfly earrings she gave me when I graduated MEd and she and Dad were away. Whatever it is matters not because I take notice of the connections that cannot be explained. And since Mum died (over 16 years ago) I wear those earring each time I visit Dad. I tried to tell Dad about this habit and he had “no idea” really but he does keep Mum very much alive in his mind.
