Lauren and I found this butterfly in our yard and as you can see, it has a broken wing. It was trying so hard to fly away, but just couldn't do it. We even tried to give it a little help, but the poor thing just wouldn't fly away. This was the butterfly's last day of life, as we found it lifeless in our driveway the next morning.
This picture means a lot to me. The butterfly is a symbol of Thyroid Cancer. Lauren is a survivor and wears her LiveStrong bracelet everyday as a reminder. Today she was holding life in her hands, not knowing this would be the butterfly's last day alive.
