The Butterfly
I sat on a bench,
watching
a late sunrise.
When suddenly,
a butterfly landed
on my shoulder, close to my cheek.
She rested there
for a brief time.
Then with a whisper of wings,
and a soft caress
of my cheek,
she flew away.
And I felt....
Blessed.

I wrote this the day before my Clinic visit. It came to me after a dream about my dad, who died 11 years ago. He hugged me, said things will go well, and passed me a beautiful monarch butterfly.
Clinic visit went real well. FVC up 3%, with inhalation scores up 12 points. Getting batteries for my power chair that my mom-in-law sent me. Also gained 4 pounds. Slow progress last 3 months. Then on the way home (5 hour drive) my cousin called. She is a nurse at a nursing home. One of her patients, a man with ALS , just recently passed away. He had a Dynavox VMAx+ with eye gaze. The family asked her if she knew of someone that could use it. She told them about me, and they are sending it to me, with the agreement to pass it to the loan closet. Blessed. Praise The Lord for them.
