November 20th 2021 my dear mother passed away, I miss her endlessly. It is a time I will never forget as I long for her each day. I miss seeing her, talking with her and sending her messages.

A few days after my mother passed away I was sitting in our garden feeling heart broken and lost. All of a sudden some white butterflies started to flutter around me and in that very moment I felt a sense of peace. It was the most beautiful moment that I will never be able to describe in mere words.

Second to that moment leading up to my mothers funeral we had to go shopping for my husband to find shoes. As we were headed to the shopping centre I turned away as we started passing by the hospital that my mother had spent a lot of time in and the place we said goodbye. I couldn’t bear to see that building it was heart breaking.

A white butterfly landed on our car window as we drove past the hospital. It stayed there until we got to the shopping centre. I sat there mesmerised wondering how the butterfly could sit there when the car was going 80km. Once again I felt a sense of peace and comfort and it was clear “the white butterfly “was going to be special forever.

I love butterflies especially the white one!!! each time I see one my dear mother comes to mind, I think of her and imagine how at peace she is now free from the disease that took her from us. I believe she is in heaven with her mother and father, content, no pain, only happiness.

I love you Aiti ….
