"I never had a chance to hold you, Erika. I have always wanted to hold a butterfly. But I know how delicate they can be, and butterflies don't wait long before they fly away and grace another flower. One day we will meet in Heaven and I will have another chance to see you. Please let your pop-pop hold you for just a moment so I can behold your beauty. I may not want to let you go, but just spread your wings and I will know that it will be time for you to find another flower."
Your Grandpa, Ken Gnos
