Lucky Memorial

       

Our baby Lucky has passed on to the Rainbow Bridge and is also memorialized there.
You can Click here to visit his Rainbow Bridge page where I tell more of his story. There are also more
pictures and you can view and/or sign our guestbook if you like before you watch the video below.

And now there is an epilogue to the epilogue! I have taken to going out every morning to the front where we have our 2 new Buddleia bushes and looking for butterflies.
And nearly every day I see a number of Monarch butterflies but only on the 3rd and the 10th have I seen the other kind with the markings similar to Lucky.
I am writing this on Monday May 14th and at 10:45 AM I got an email from the Pet Cemetery telling me that Lucky's ashes are ready to come home.
I had gone out earlier and saw a Monarch but only one. So my very first inclination was to go outside with my phone.
And to my shock and amazement, there were 2 of the ones with the markings similar to Lucky.
That makes 3 "coincidences" which makes it hard to believe they are coincidences.

Believe it or not, there is MORE! I finally summoned up the courage to get a tattoo to memorialize Lucky, so I went to a tattoo artist
I was referred to. I sent him the picture of this butterfly, to see if he could duplicate it. When I went to see him, he said he had looked
up the type of butterfly it was and what I heard him say was "morning cloak butterfly". That sounded good to me, as I had seen it in the
morning. When I Googled it, however, I found out it was actually "MOURNING Cloak Butterfly"! So a butterfly with mourning in its
name came to visit me the day after Lucky died, the day he was cremated and the day the cemetery had his ashes ready to come home.
I just don't know how to assimilate all of this. It totally shatters my thoughts about science, spirituality and whatever it is people call the "beyond".
It certainly seems like someone or something is trying to communicate with me about the spirit of my baby who has passed away..



There is some significance to the fact that the butterfly has a bit of its left wing missing. I can't put Lucky's image here
because it never stops breaking my heart, but Lucky had malignant melanoma in his mouth and he had surgery on his left jaw.
Post surgery, his left jawline was jagged and missing a bit similar to what I saw on the butterfly I took pictures of:



It is hard to explain the feelings in my heart right at this moment. It is still broken, but there is also a feeling of warmth telling me
that somebody or something is trying to tell me that he is OK. Here again is the link to his Rainbow Bridge page.
