I think of you every day, but you know that you’ll always live in my heart.
So many times I cook our favorite meals, and feel as though you are right here with me, as so many times you were, with your cup of black coffee, we had so much fun over the years. Being only 3 months older than you, we enjoyed almost all of our lives as we were each others’ first friends.
One day as I was getting ready for a cookout the summer after the Lord took you home, I pulled a chair out at the table, and whispered, “This is for you, honey.” Right after that a red dragonfly landed on the kitchen window screen. I got as close as i could to look at it. The body of it was your favorite shade of coral, and then it opened it’s wings… they looked like the black and red of a monarch butterfly. You and I know the importance of the visit of a monarch butterfly. I’d never seen such a dragonfly, so I looked it up on line. The Internet had a story of the Chinese having a belief that if you see this dragonfly, it’s a symbol to them that a lost loved one is letting you know they have made it safely to the other side, and letting you know you are loved.
You’ve been in my dreams, and we both know as you told me, that you know what was done later on. You saw and heard it all.
I sat at the computer the day I looked up that dragonfly, and tears of both joy and sadness covered my face. The day you passed, I cried out loud like a baby.
This little message is to let you know I know you are with our Lord Jesus, and I have no doubt you sit at his right hand. I also know you are my guardian angel, Caryn Lynn.
Lots of Love, Love you forever, until we meet again,
Cyndi Lou <3
I've never seen one since, I know you are busy up there in heaven with all our long lost family and friends.
