Butterflies
It was a sad day for me today. I attended the funeral of one of my coworkers and friends. He used to be my boss. He pushed me to apply for a promotion when I had no desire to do so in any way, shape or form. He was one of those guys that could make anyone laugh about anything. He literally made me pee in my pants one time. At work. On a fabric upholstered chair. Not cool. He was 41 years old and was diagnosed a year and a half ago with skin cancer. He fought and we thought he won. A year ago, it was back with a vengeance. It morphed into bone cancer and eventually spread to all his organs, including his eyes. He died last Saturday. We are all so glad he's out of pain and can be a peace again. Today we tried to celebrate his life, but few of us could get past how much we will suffer without him in our lives. Selfish, I know. At the memorial, they asked me to recite the butterfly poem. When my grandmother passed, we got so many cards of sympathy, but they all fell short of their intention. Except one. It had beautiful watercolored butterflies on the front and a beautiful poem written by some anonymous genius. Every time I get to missing her, I think of the poem and somehow it makes me feel a little better. Pat, this is for you: The Butterfly A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam For a brief moment, it's beauty and glory belong to our world. But then it flies on again. And while we are so sad to see it go, We are so lucky to have seen it at all. -Anonymous 0 Comment(s)
