We released our butterflies last week
a hard lesson in life cylces,
letting go really is the hardest part
beliveing they will fly away and be okay
takes so much faith for a mother
Even a 6 year old mother
Like many families there was one that couldn't leave the nest
Our little one wing.
When it came time to set the others free
we knew it wouldn't be fair to let her out into the wild world.
So she came back in to live the rest of her days with us.
She survived for many weeks with only one wing.
We have placed her on the nature table now.
To rest in peace among the many other memories from summer.
