The significance of the butterfly
I was still a little sad, because I didn’t feel a connection with my little one. I wanted to put together this memorial for her, but it made me sad not knowing how to represent her, since I didn’t have a photo or image of her. So I said a prayer and asked Jesus to show me which would be the best way to represent her. At that moment a beautiful white butterfly flew by in front of me. My question had been answered! My brothers, who were helping me with the technical side of setting up this page, chose one of the photos of me pregnant with Alina, which we decided was ideal to use as the header. When I looked more closely at the photo I noticed a small detail—in the photo I’m wearing a necklace with a butterfly pendant (which I’d never worn before, and had just put on for this photo). The message was clear to me: she was, and still is, closer to me than I can imagine! And later on, as if to confirm this message, as I was telling Steven about this, guess what flew by us again—the beautiful white butterfly.

In truth even though your little one didn't live long on this earth, she had a mission, and I believe she fulfiled it compleatly.
