Memories of Lucy

Yesterday, my Mother-in-law came by to help watch Thomas and as we were chatting in the kitchen, a large black butterfly suddenly appeared at the back sliding glass door, it was a "Lucy" butterfly!

Since last week, when we said good-bye to our dear sweet girl, we have had two butterfly occurrences up until this point. I first saw a large black butterfly immediately after our final goodbyes outside of the vet's office. Then, on Memorial Day, my Mother-in-law had one in her back yard fluttering around.

When my Mother-in-law saw the last one, I remember being disappointed that I didn't get to see it but also a bit sad that we didn't have a sighting here. What a special moment for me to then see that "Lucy" butterfly stop by for a visit here at home.

Seeing these butterflies is like getting a little reminder that Lucy loves us and wants us to know she is ok.

Here at home, she used to spend time on that back porch just soaking in the sun...how nice it's been to see these black speckled butterflies which have given comfort and stirred up fond memories of our Lucy.
