I went to visit you again today. I had to pick up some paperwork at the cemetary's office, so I figured I'd stop and chat with you alone. I told you how much I love you, miss you, and can't wait until I can see you again. I had to remove the decorations from your grave site because the cemetary cleans everything out twice a year, and they were going to be taking everything on July 10th. As I was removing the butterflies, I asked you if you had been chasing butterflies with Aunt Gloria. It was amazing, because right after I said that, the most beautiful butterfly came over and almost landed right in front of me on your grave. It was like you were sending me a sign that you were okay and happy.
I then went over to Grandma and Grandpa Finch's graves to talk to them. I asked them to make sure and take really good care of you until we see each other again. I then mentioned to her that if you come to her with a sweet tooth, to make you one of her angel food cakes. She always made "the best" angel food cakes ever. And I also told her that if you like cream of mushroom soup, to make it for you every day if you wanted it. When I was little, I went to their house every day after school. I had a love of that soup at the time, so she always made sure there was a bowl of it waiting for me on the table every day. Then another butterfly came right by. The signs you send me make me feel at peace, even though I miss you.
Then I went back to your grave for a little while longer. I told you everything that I had just told Grandma and Grandpa, so you know where to go for some great angel food cake or soup.
I love you, my baby girl!
