Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present. What the caterpillar perceives is the end to the butterfly is just the beginning. Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. We extend our sincerest gratitude for your kind expressions of love and support during this time of transitioning for our loved one.
