Firstly, I must start by wishing our wonderful Son-In-Law, Dean a very Happy Birthday and many happy returns. You are the best.
Secondly, him indoors mowed the lawn - yippee
I was in for a surprise when I told Jackie over the telephone what happened yesterday regarding the butterfly.
Here is what she told me. She had a very dear friend since childhood. This friend moved far away but stayed in touch by telephone, letter, cards etc. She always sent Rosemary a birthday present without fail. Although she knew that Rosemary was very ill, she did not apparently realize quite how serious it was. She had already been out and bought Rosemary's Birthday present (it would have been next month). Jackie had to tell her that Rosemary had passed away. She told Jackie that she would still send it and Jackie might like to keep it. When Jackie found out what it was, she decided that Rosemary is going to wear it and it will be taken to the Chapel of Rest. What was the present? A bracelet with..................................a butterfly on it!!!
Not only that, but later on that day this friend phoned Jackie again. She had been out and posted the present and done some other shopping. When she went back to her house and walked into the kitchen (where all the doors and windows had been closed due to her absence) there was a butterfly flying around in there. It had not been there previously and she had no idea where it came from. She went to open the door and window to let it out and when she turned back it was gone.
So, two of us have been privileged to have been "visited".
