i saw a butterfly today, about 10 minutes after hanging remberance flowers and adding 3 roses to the hanging plant that i bought for Waa Waa yesterday.

when i showed the photo i took to the chef, she spoke of the Thai belief that when a pet dies you will see a butterlfly shortly after and that it is the spirit of the pet returning to check on its loved ones before it departs for ever.

snatched away from us at just 6 months old, on thursday 10th jan, i can only be thankful that i believe that she felt no pain, it was so quick.

i pray that the pictures of that fateful moment, that play over and over in my mind, will in time recede and be replaced with the other pictures of her playing in the park, greeting customers with her cheeky ways, waiting patiently outside my bedroom door in the morning.

thankyou Waa Waa for being in my life, farewell dear friend and may your spirit fly free like the butterfly to eternal peace.
