Poem:
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.

I am so sorry for the sorrow you must be feeling at this time. I will pray that you feel God's presence and peace. May you see him in heaven one day, where there will be no more tears, sorrow, or pain. I pray that God will bring you through this difficult time, and that you are surrounded by love and comfort. Blessings to you all, and I will miss seeing Daniel in class.
