Hello, my name is Jamie. I am submitting a story my mother told me. It is a true story, not just because she says it is but because I FEEL it to be true.

When my mother was a teenager her 17 year old little brother committed suicide. Of course, my mother was deeply saddened by his death and to this day has a hard time on its anniversary .

Now to the story, Very soon after my uncle died my mom was at a friends house and was going to sleep in the basement. In the basement there was a butterfly mobile hanging from the ceiling. My mother went to sleep feeling very sad and overwrought. When she awoke in the morning a single butterfly was missing from the mobile. My mother scoured the room for it and couldn't locate it. Finally my mom looked under the bed and there laying peacefully on the ground its wings folded as if it had actually flown, was the butterfly. As my mom looked at it a warm feeling went through her body somehow communicating to her that her brother was all right and wished her to be happy.
