Early visitor.

We were very suprised to see a butterfly in the house on Sunday (Mothering Sunday here)
I had a strange notion that it was my mother sending me a message (she passed away 23 years ago on the 11th February) as I was thinking of her at the time. I googled to see if there were any mention of what butterflies were supposed to symbolize and found this......
The Aztecs believed that the happy dead in the form of beautiful butterflies would visit their relatives to assure them that all was well.
