My Fondest Memory

My fondest memory was so surreal It has changed my life downright and I really feel beatific to reveal the secret behind my delight It happened on a bright sunny day I saw a tiny yellow egg amidst the leaves,which was its hideaway It was so cute and I could not resist I kept it inside the plastic container The next day the small caterpillar hatched and it was my entertainer and it had become my tension killer I raised it by feeding curry leaves, drenching and cleansing the box and many a time I used to give hugs and I never wanted to unbox Days went by and one day that miracle happened, like a blessing in disguise There was a butterfly inside the receptacle and it was really a grand surprise I shouted loud, jumped like a baby I was at the height of bliss,when it walked on my hand,I became crazy when it kissed on my cheek and chin I forgot the world and got transported into a new place,when it landed on my hand and the feelings & warmth will not be forgotten and I would cherish the moment till my end since then I started raising butterflies indoor So far I have raised 75 butterflies and,more .

what a wonderful memory Supraja - when my son was young we went to a butterfly 'farm' in the Uk I never wanted to leave just watching them emerge from their chrysalis and open their wings then fly free was breathtaking! Congrats on your win:-) hugs jan xx

wow, this is really fascinating, Supraja. For REAL??? They don't live long though, do they? Do you keep them flying around you or let them fly to the sky?? Hope Frank will love this too

This is a true story Andrea... It has changed my life.. I started observing little things around me... My friends call me butterfly girl... They also started raising butterflies... You are right...Butterflies don't live longer.. But they're the happiest souls,in the world... I do not keep them with me... I let them fly free... I don't have words to explain my happiness when a butterfly flies from my box... It's really a wonderful experience...
