5.11.12-Lucky Ladybug

The phoenix, a bird that never dies.  A bird that rises after defeat and struggle.  A bird that demonstrates impeccable strength and determination beyond all imagination.  The bird that symbolizes rebirth.  That's how I describe my mother. 

The ladybug is a beetle with a hard shell, but the most beautiful of all beetles.  The life cycle of the adult ladybug is short and it teaches us how to release worries and enjoy our lives to the fullest.  When it appears in our life it is telling us to "let go and let God."  That's how I describe my father.

A fine balance of fierce strength and determination, and a hard shell knowing when to "let go and let God".
