Love is
the most important relationship that Laura and Steve experience. As
they gathered together one beautiful day to celebrate that love, they
were swarmed by ladybugs. Dozens and dozens of ladybugs swirled and
flew, landed and twirled. The magic of that moment brought peace, joy,
healing, and renewed love and commitment.
Their legend
tells us that if you see a ladybug, think of a person you love and what
you need to strengthen your bonds of love so they will endure forever.
In the
spirit of that moment and so all of us will remember the importance
of renewal and love, these ladybugs are released to touch all of us.
Kathy released symbolic ladybugs at our vow renewal ceremony in July
2000 (aided and abetted by Big Mike). She also presented us with a "circle
of friends" candle which we treasure. As inspired as her words
were, the loving spirit in which they were delivered was truly the gift.
