I would like to think that your brief visit that day is to show us that you’re still near, thinking about us and watching over us. It’s also a reminder of the fragile short life we have here on earth.

And one day each of us will leave this earthly life behind and fly away like a butterfly. Another gentle reminder to count life in each and every moment and make the most of it.

I want you to know that seven years on, your spirit is still very much alive in my heart. I remember and will always be grateful for your warm welcome when I visited you (I wish I had visited you more often), for checking in on me when you didn’t hear from me for a while, for sharing your thoughts and opinions, for listening without judgment, but most of all for just being you, a beautiful aunt and friend.

Till we meet again as butterflies! ❤️
