My dad emailed me some pictures today that I LOVE! The tree is starting to bloom and the butterflies are all over it!!! I have always thought of Alyssa as my little butterfly...even her room was decorated in butterflies! The summer after Alyssa died whenever I would see a butterfly it would make me smile, I always thought of it as a sign from her to be strong and keep being optimistic! Today...seeing that picture of the butterflies on her tree makes me smile. I could be a debbie downer and focus on the sad but I know she wouldn't want that :-) Instead I take the signs she sends me and keep the smile on my face. For her, and for Tessa.
Enjoy the pictures my dad sent me!

love it. :) Thanks for sharing!
Jenalee, you made me cry every time when you use your unique way to memorize Alyssa. I truly enjoyed reading your posts, which are full of happiness with a little bit sadness. Sometimes I feel your heart feels lonely, which really made me sad even though you still smile and laugh every day.
But Tessa is sooo cute! I believe Alyssa would be so happy for you and her sister. The purple flower and butterfly are so beautiful! That is Alyssa, a beautiful angel who sends you a message that she loves you and cares about you and her sister!!
Thank you for sharing!
