Mama's Butterfly Bush and Letting Go

Yesterday, I took one last look around the home place.

 

 

The blooms on Mama's butterfly bush are beginning to fall,

still some remain.

 

 

I watched to see if the butterflies that were swirling around would land.

I so wanted to capture the moment.

 

 

There she was!

 

 

And ever so swiftly, she was gone again.

 

So, I dried my tears and said goodbye.

 

Goodbye, Mama and Daddy.

I'll let you go.

I won't return to the homeplace again.

You are free.

 

Somehow, I feel a little lighter today too.

I am okay.

You have taught me well.

 

I am letting go.
