Mothers day

On Mothers Day this year, a woman came to the Butterfly House. She seemed to be a bit sad and emotional. I went over to speak with her and share some interesting facts about the different species of butterflies and I am glad I did. She had lost her mother a few years back, and the day before her mother passed they had taken a trip to the butterfly house. Her mother had a butterfly land on her and stick with her for the entire time they were in the house. It brought her mother so much joy that day. The next day, sadly, her mother passed and that memory has stuck with the woman ever since. She comes to the butterfly house every Mothers Day to relive that beautiful memory she had with her mother.

It is days like these that you cannot take for granted. Each one of us is on our own journey and struggling with our own issues. However, little beautiful moments seem to always stick with us when we least expect it. Happy Mothers Day to not only the mothers, but to all those who have lost their mothers as well.
