Just wanted to share my recent experiences.

At Jack's funeral we released 12 individual monarch butterflies, they all flew away bar one.
that little butterfly sat on DD2's dress for a while, then flew onto DD1, then onto the headband i was wearing and eventually flew onto the flowers next to Jack's resting place.
The other week i was sitting on the couch looking on the computer, DD1 was at kinder and DD2 was in her room napping. i heard a tapping on the window opposite me, ilooked up and there was a monarch butterfly flapping away in the window

every time i drive my car during the day i see atleast 1 monarch butterfly fly past my windscreen. the other day while out with my mum i looked in the rear view mirror and there was a monarch butterfly following the car.
I was stopped at lights on monday and one nearly flew into my car.

Everytime i return home from somewhere there's always a butterfly here to greet me, last week one tried to come into the front door.

Mum and i had coffee on sunday, while we were waiting to be served a beuatiful monarch butterfly flew through the cafe right near us.

My DF used to laugh at us when we'd mention the butterflies we'd seen. He went to visit Jack last monday at the cemetary, he was starting to cry when a monarch butterfly flew right past his face and settle and on Jack's headstone, now he doesnt laugh at us.

Noone can tell me that i'm more aware of butterflies now and that they've always been there i just hadnt noticed them. our loved ones always show us theyre about, we just need to open our hearts and minds and allow them to do so
