A Symbol of Hope in the darkness

A Symbol of Hope
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it....

The Ehresman,
I'm sorry for your loss, I wish I could have been their for you guys.
