Once upon a time there was a little catepillar. She was vibrantly colored, clever, spunky, creative, smart and full of courage. Carolyne was her name. She was beautiful on the outside and wounded on the inside. It was very diffiult being Carlyne. Other catepillars did not understand her. she was a mystery yet to be solved. Carolyne had a rough beginning in life, she knew and believed her future had the potential of becoming bright and beautiful and she knew deep in her heart she wanted to grow up to become the lovliest of all butterflies. But Carolyne carried many hurts and much sadness in her heart and had taught herself over the first years of her life to guard her heart and made a promise to herself to never allow another caterpillar close enough to touch her heart.
Carolyne came from hard places. She was separated from her family and had lost touch with her siblings. Carolyne moved from house to house and family to family with no success of finding the true family who would heal her heart. Until one day. The lady in charge of the place she had been staying sat her down for a talk. You see Carolyne there is a very special family who wants more than anything to meet you. And so over the coming months she met with the family and learned bit by bit that they were different than others who came before. this family cared and showed love in ways she had never seen. After a few months of visits Carolyne moved all of her worldly possessions (3 tubs and a back pack) into their home and began to settle into the middle of a caterpillar family of 10 and a mom and dad.  The problem is Carolyne is not used to giving and receiving true love. Real love is scary. so she struggled to return and receive it in any form. Carolyne's story is still being written and her new family will wait for as long as it takes for her little heart to heal enough for her to turn into the beautiful Butterfly that everyone else can already see. One day she will earn her wings and change the world!
