- Description
- The page is part of a scrapbook. It includes a large, detailed illustration of a butterfly with a rainbow-like pattern on its wings. The background is filled with various cut-out pieces of paper, some with text and others with decorative elements. The right-hand page contains handwritten text, with the word "FLAME" prominently displayed at the top. The text appears to be a reflection on a personal journey, mentioning a cancer diagnosis and the years 1993-2017, describing a sense of duty and calling, and expressing gratitude for personal growth and new beginnings.
