Butterfly Footprints creates a special memorial keepsake for parents who have lost a baby.
The child's footprints are turned into an image of a butterfly.
Butterflies are a common symbol associated with the death of a child. Butterflies also have a religious meaning. They are a symbol for new life. This is based on its various stages of life. The caterpillar represents the mortal life of people here on Earth. The cocoon compares with death. The caterpillar breaks out of its cocoon & emerges with a new body as a beautiful butterfly, just as human beings emerge from death into new life.

Sweet feet with bitter sweet memories. How very precious and Brendan is now flying free like a butterfly. Love is with you Jan.
A remarkable tribute to a wonderful little boy, and a courageous, loving Mom.
