“Look for shiny pennies, rainbows, Monarch butterflies, they’re all signs she’s trying to connect with you,” my friend Jason tried to cheer me.
“Mom hated butterflies. They made her sneeze.”
Jason shrugged. “All the more reason she’ll come back as one. Karma.”
“What do I say to her? In two weeks you’ll die and I’ll feel godawful losing you all over again?”
“You’ll know what to say,” Jason smiled.
So when my mother alighted on my nose while I sat in her garden, I pinched her buttery wings and wiped my hands on my pants. “Shouldn’t have come back, Mom.”
