The reason I chose the butterfly cover of Nails Magazine is very special to me. Thirteen years ago I lost my 2 year old daughter Gianna in a horrific fire while she was being taken care of by a loved one. I felt like this tragedy was the end of my world, naturally there is nothing more sacred than the bond of a mother and daughter. Thanks to God and the support of my family and friends I was able to make it through this tough time. Gianna, my beautiful angel was infatuated with the song "Butterflies" by Michael Jackson. She would sing all day long. Butterflies became the theme of her services. The day of her service, the most beautiful yellow butterflies surrounded my home, and stayed there almost all summer. Now every year around June 1st, her death anniversary these beautiful butterflies appear. I believe these butterflies are a sign that my daughter is telling me she is ok.
