Butterflies have become very, very meaningful to me these past few years. Without the struggle to get out of the cocoon they can never develop the beautiful wings to fly. Truly a symbol of change, transformation, peace, freedom, and survival for me. I am one of Rick Springfield's most loyal fans too. Just saw him in Sept. for the fifth time and he was spectacular as usual.
I just stood on the ocean dock like that looking up to my father. As I sat on the dock with the water glistening, a dragonfly cam and sat next to me. When it flew away a gorgeous yellow butterfly fluttered by. No doubt in my mind that was my father sending me a message that he is always with me and always will be.

I lost him to Parkinson's three years ago and not a day goes by I don't think of him.
I am gratified that others take comfort in or identify with this. Springfield's song and his experience are common to a lot of people. I was more lucky than some, my Dad (Gerry in the video) lived a long life, I did not lose him early. He passed from Altzheimers. My best wishes to all.
I saw his last performance of this song, I am in the video filmed at Soaring Eagle Casino. At that time I didn't realize it, but this song has major signaficance for my daughter, her father died at 37, not long after that concert. Her brother died shortly after his birth, but his chair is avoided to this day, and it is almost 6 years on now.
Watching my dad win a bout with cancer, I learned to love my dad just a little bit more. Andy Chase, We all love you very much, but this day is still a ways off. Love you dad. Frank

@Poliflix76 - I think it's safe to say that we all have those kinds of moments.
I inherited all of Dad's tools, some of which were HIS Dad's tools.
So whenever I pick one of them up, or look at the toolbox, I have a "butterfly moment", not only for Dad, but for my Grandfather as well.
Thanks for your comment.
