Around two weeks ago, keepers dear friend, Sarah (the 9 year old alter in another system) sent us the above picture. Sarah was very excited because a friend of hers had given Sarah a box made especially for caterpillars to make their cocoon and become butterflies. The box contained three caterpillars. The above picture shows one of them. About a week ago, keepers received and email that said KEEPERS LADY, WE HAVE A BUTTERFLY. Both keepers and the members of the other internal family felt the joy of actually being able to experience the journey from caterpillar to butterfly. Keepers can not put into words what it meant to each of us to be included as this journey has unfolded.

Then, this morning, keepers chose to sleep in late because we have not been doing too well and the extra sleep seemed important in many ways.  However, when we awoke, keepers discovered a voice mail waiting for us.  The message was from one very excited Sarah, who could not stop chattering but got her message across in spite of excitement.  The best line in her voice mail to us was KEEPERS LADY, WE HAVE A BUTTERFLY.  Just hearing the excitement in our little friend, Sarah’s, voice was contagious enough to light up keeper’s world in a way we seldom experience.

The picture just above is of keepers, the butterfly, that came out of his cocoon early this morning.  As you can see, the butterfly is still all crinkled up and has not taken the shape of butterfly yet.  The butterfly looks this way because he came out of the cocoon with moisture all over him and his wings all crinkled from fitting in the cocoon.

This above picture is of the same butterfly after his wings dried off and took their shape which did not take more than a few minutes to happen.  Just above the butterfly to the left is the cocoon that he came out of.  All of this is in the plastic box where Sarah and her other inner family members kept the caterpillars safe from the beginning of their cocoons to the emerging of the butterflies.

Shortly after hearing Sarah’s voice message, keepers got on the phone and spoke with her in spite of the fact that her bigs were at work.  She was soooooo incredibly excited and keepers felt sooooooo incredibly honored to be included in sharing her joy.  The above picture here is of the keepers (the butterfly) once his wings had dried and he had begun to display his immense beauty.

Sarah’s internal family had a therapy appointment late this afternoon.  They kept this beautiful creature safe in the box he had been in for weeks now until the time of their appointment.  Then, the system and their therapist (together) let the butterfly go on the front porch of her office.  I have been told that the butterfly flew away very quickly once figuring out that he was being set free.  Sarah looked at her therapist and said that her favorite part of this whole experience was the moment that she got to set this wonderful creature free to explore the world on his own.  This statement will always be one keepers remember because it showed the pure and loving heart of our little friend Sarah.

Little did keepers know what this day would hold when we awoke this morning.  We got to experience the birthing of a butterfly for the second time.  We reunited with our Australian friends whom we have missed very much and were so very glad to speak with once again.  Wonderful things unfolded for our ceremonies which will happen on Saturday.  So, all in all, this day that keepers found difficult to face turned out to be one of the best ever.  Keepers attribute that to our waking up and starting our day with this awesome butterfly coming into its own.  And to the fact that our friends cared enough about us to include keepers as things unfolded over the last few weeks with the little butterfly that Sarah named keepers.

So much of life is an awesome experience which is something keepers never knew until we began KEEPERSKORNER and developed loving relationships with multiples all over the world.  Thank you–each one of you–for the joy and happiness you have brought into keeper’s lives.

peace and blessings,

keepers
