Ive noticed alot of people using the butterfly as a symbol for their child after death. They see butterflies and or release butterflies and it reminds them of their lost little ones. I don't actually see Jack as a butterfly. He always reminds me more of a big hairy moth.
A butterfly is flashy; it's beauty is very apparent. Yet with a moth you don't see that beauty right away. At first when a big hairy moth flies out we are afraid of it or shocked but if you really stop to take a closer look you will see its strength of character, its beautiful markings, its silky furry body and then realize that it is just as beautiful as a butterfly -maybe even more so. Jack was also a very hairy kid lol. Someday maybe I'll have a big hairy moth release and watch them all fly erratically and mischievously get into every one's hair and clothes.
I would have loved to dress you up as a big hairy moth with wings for Halloween my baby. I think Daddy would have insisted on something more traditional . Either way you would have been the cutest dressed up baby ever.
Love you so much. Jack and Mummy forever
*Whether it was how your baby looked, their personality, how they were in your tummy or just how you would have pictured them; do you have something that represents your child or reminds you of them ?

I don't really think of Drew as a butterfly, but I like to think that he sends me butterflies, moths and other flying bugs, just to let me know he's with me.
Elephants are what remind me of Drew. His nursery theme is elephants, so whenever I see anything with an elephant on it, it of course, makes me think of my little guy.
Like Kate said, I do not think that Isabella is a butterfly, but I think that she sends me butterflies. I think that Isabella sends me what she knows that I need at that time. Butterflies to me resemble growth, a transition and they bring me peace. It is a sign that she know that I will recognise. Foe her baptism I gave away butterfly candy dishes in a box with a big white butterfly o the top. It was our theme because it also reminded me of my grandfather. When I think of Isabella I think of her in a white dress in wings lighting up the sky.
