I miss and speak of you often,,,,One of the stories I tell is of small butterfly would always come to greet me the beginning on walk. I saw a little yellow butterfly that would follow me playfully, but over the hedge which was approximately 50 yards.
The yellow butterfly serves as a symbol of hope, guidance and a bright future for someone going through changes. At that time I was using a walker and recovering from being in hospital. This was physical therapy. Every single morning the butterfly playfully came out after I would say "hey Brian, wanna go for a walk" and never failed, the butterfly would come. You gave me the strength I needed to get strong.
Your spirit is always with me and others. I speak of you often and hold you dear to my heart, you were taken to young!
21 years gone but not forgotten!
Love you dearly,
Aunti Trisha
