and goes

Today would have been my son"s thirtyfirst birthday but he died fourteen years ago. People ask how do you live with this- I don"t- I live despite this. I asked my son and my husband to send me a sign today because I needed it. When I was outside cleaning out my kitty litter box with the hose a beautiful butterfly flew along beside me. It followed me while I was doing this chore and I thought how delightful it was that it seemed so unafraid of me. Then I thought - is this my sign ? I think I will believe that it is and thank them both for the peaceful feeling it has given to me.
