The Butterfly

A beautiful orange butterfly, more beautiful than a Monarch, fluttered around me. It came closer to me, and put it's little feet on my neck - it felt a lot like a baby's hand. I was afraid then and started swatting it away. I remember thinking I should stop doing that. just before I came to full consciousness, I looked back and saw the buttefly hiding (but not completely) behind a thin white post. I know it was Adelle giving me a sign... telling me that she is still near.
You can choose to believe this or not. I didn't realize the significance of the dream until I started telling some friends about it. When I looked up, one of them was teary-eyed. She said that a friend of her's had a similar dream about a butterfly shortly after the death of his daughter a few years ago. Also, in reading "Angel Babies" by Patricia Seaver McGivern (a book that I highly recommend for anyone who has lost a baby), a father tells of a dream that he had of a butterfly and knowing that is was his baby.
There are some people who will argue that dreams are a part of our sub-conscience and that this dream was nothing more. But I felt such peace and love upon seeing that butterfly and hope that no one will take away that moment and that feeling from a greiving mother...

About Me
- Mireille
- On November 6th, 2009, I gave birth to our angel Adelle at 34 weeks. She had already grown her wings... I am going through a difficult time and am learning a lot about myself and what it means to be the mommy of an Angel. I hope that by sharing my experiences, other angels' moms will find some comfort in knowing they are not alone. I am married to the most wonderful man on Earth. I am blessed with the most precious family and friends. My heart will always be full of love for my Angel Baby Adelle.

Mireille,
Loved ones come to you in different way, a scent, a memory, a dream.
Keep believing, Adele is always with you.
Take care
what a wonderful dream...........I believe it was Adele and she is most definitely near......hold on to that thought it will help you get through the days when you feel like nothing will ever be right again........even though we've never met, I am sending hugs your way. Keep blogging.......writing helped me get through the worst of days.
Mireille,
Adelle was close to you for several months, and the bond of mother and child during pregnancy is a strong one. So, it's not at all surprising that she would reach out to you in your dreams. You might even feel her presence while reading a book, taking a walk or other times when you least expect it, you will sense that she is close and it will warm your heart and make you smile. She is simply reaching out, letting you know that she will always be in your heart and that she wants you to be happy. She wants to see you smile because then she knows that you’re not sad.
What you feel in your dream is very real. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. Your little angel is reaching out to you, and what better way than in a dream. After all it’s not a bad dream, and certainly not scary, I can understand you feeling peace and love upon seeing the butterfly. I hope Adelle always brings you sweet dreams.
Je t'aime et je pense toujours à notre petite Adelle. Merci pour nous avoir donné ce petit ange.
Mom XOXOXO
Mireille,
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I do believe that God had a plan for your beautiful angel Adelle.
I love your butterfly dream, it will inspire me to be a better person.
Adelle....I know that you are looking over your mother everyday and you will make her stronger and one day you will meet again in Heaven.
Love from Helene :>)
