Spunky. That's what she is. At only four years old she never stops moving. She jokes about cartoons and jumps around until she gets in trouble. But she doesn't live the typical four-year-old life all the time. Often she mopes around the house sad. It is hard to find friends being only four years old. She has no one to play with that is her age. Many imaginary friends is what she has. She is a creative young lady. Butterflies are like angels to her. Even some of her imaginary friends are butterflies. They have big beautiful color filled wings. Their wings are heart-shaped and they give off a sweet smell of rose petals as a flap their big beautiful wings. Her babysitter often finds her on the floor with her back arched pretending she is a beautiful butterfly soon to hatch from her cocoon. She is lonely because her mother is rarely home, for days at a time she is in the hospital. Sick and unable to take care of her butterfly. The girl wants to fly away and be with her mother, but she knows that is not possible. She lays in bed at night praying to the butterfly God that she will find a friend for her to fly with. Being so alone she sleeps on the couch she is dreaming of a world full of butterflies soaring around, then suddenly she feels a butterfly land on her nose. She awakens from her sleep to see her mother and a her new baby butterfly sister.
The girl is so happy that her mom is having a baby, a butterfly baby she's so happy and excited that she can't wait until the baby butterfly is on her way.
