"What the Hell?" Andrea looked quite upset and terrified "Gary, you scared the life out of me and many others I am sure." Andrea said taking in the morning air, the dew still wet underfoot from the last night's fog. Angareas followed her parents with her brother and sisters, inspecting the wild flowers and butterflies on each side of the path. "What in the name of bejesus possesses you?" Andrea asked her husband.

"That is exactly it." Gary responded "Bejesus, who ever that entity is possesses me to see life beyond all physical existence." Gary looked at his wife now with questioning eyes looking back at him and kissed her on the forehead "it's just that" Gary stopped to point over to where the children were. "See that flower and the bunch of others just like it that are growing in the vicinity?" Gary asked.

"Yes," Andrea looked to where Gary was pointing "I think those are Daisies." Andrea said.

"Correct," Gary said "those are the Ox-eye daisy and say one suffered from asthma and nervous excitability." Gary explained "someone who suffered the same before and shed their shell of human form still lives in those plants to help with his condition." 

An excited Angareas ran to her parents, a flower in each hand. "Mommy, daddy," calling on her way "look at what I have for you," Angareas told her parents that the flutterby picked these ones and told her to give one to each, mommy and daddy.

Gary picked up his first born daughter "and what else did the flutterby tell you?"

"She told me to thank you every day for all you have given us and that we will return the favor." Angareas said, asking "what does that mean and where are we going?"

"You're going to be what, three soon?" Gary asked his daughter, smiling as he looked at her blushing face and kissed her forehead.

"No, silly," Angareas protested and squirmed in Gary's arms "I will be five."

"Very well then," Gary said "every girl wants a horse for her birthday right?" Angareas light up, her face shining brightly "there is a filly just on the other side of that treeline I that wants to be your bestfriend."

"Really, all mine?" Angareas smiled back "Thank you, thank you daddy!" Angareas ran back to her siblings after being set down telling them of the news and what they were to do. All came running back wanting horses.
