Thank you Wendell for the beautiful poem. My mum loves butterflies and in one of my artwork I incorporated a butterfly to represent my mum’s spirit

Actually one of my favorite flowers because it reminds me of the Lord. Your mother is near to you always and her love will always be large part of you as it still shapes you today. You blossom always from the seeds of love that her spirit place within you. Here is one of my favorite poems. I believe it will make you smile my sister, it is called ‘Butterflies.’
Butterflies
Whenever I see the butterflies flying
I am reminded of your smiling face,
As I see them taking wing into the sky
I feel emotions which are never displaced
For in my heart also live the butterflies
As they come to life within me each day
While I count the different memories of you
Which in my thoughts and dreams will stay
The brightness of their many vibrant colors
Produce a vivid rainbow deep within my mind
Which fills my heart with such unwavering joy
Allowing me to enjoy them for an endless time
The butterflies will be my deepest treasure
Leaving me never again feeling the same
As the peace they bring cannot be measured
For on their wings are imprinted your name

Beautiful sketch and lovely tribute. I am sending the biggest hugs to you across the water. Maybe your mom and my mom have discovered each other up there, and they are bragging to everyone around about their awesome daughters?

I’m sure I read somewhere that white lilies signify remembrance. It might have been on one of your posts – must check! This is a beautiful sketch and a fitting tribute to your mum. My thoughts are with you for the difficult year you have had and I pray that you will be comforted. Also I believe our spirit lives on, so I hope you won’t mind me saying that both your parents are watching over you and they were wrapping you in their arms during your difficult year and they love you. Big virtual Hug x
