                  Heals....Miracles Happen.  
                  We have given many Monarchs as get-well gifts and to persons 
                  in hospitals suffering from illnesses. In every case they have 
                  been most appreciated and truly inspiring. Replacing the common 
                  gift of flowers which die with a Monarch that will fly is a 
                  most welcome change for all. One 
                  special story comes to mind: As a part of our community involvement, 
                  we gave a Monarch 
                  chrysalis on a silk flower to a woman suffering from several 
                  forms of cancer. She was bed ridden and had not been in good spirits. 
                  On the third morning the Monarch emerged and slowly spread its 
                  wings. She was so moved by the experienced, alone she pulled herself 
                  out of bed to hold the butterfly and brought it outside to fly 
                  free. She was so completely focused on the small creature she forgot 
                  about her pain. Her family and her physicians were quite amazed 
                  by her  ability to move from her bed to care for the butterfly and surprised 
                  by her sudden new focus and much more positive outlook. Stories about butterflies and special healing moments are quite common. They have been  messengers to the heavens  for  milleniums with good reason. Take a moment to think about how such a natural experience could be a gift.  See
