It seemed so easy to offer that to her then. It is not as easy now. She was surrounded by love, unconditional love, gracious love and the love that passes all understanding. She died with the same grace and dignity she showed throughout her life. The next morning as we were calling friends and relatives about Emily Kate, feeling lonely, feeling numb, a beautiful monarch butterfly danced outside our windows, free of earthly bounds.
Butterflies now have a new meaning to our family, a special gift from a special child.
