Butterfly Kisses


Every year, my mom's hospice company puts together the most beautiful summer ceremony in order to honor those loved ones that have passed on. Last year was my first chance to see this in person, which you can see here. And though it definitely pulled at my heartstrings and left me full of sentimental joy, it couldn't hold a candle to this year's memorial service. "Lovely" doesn't quite do it justice.
