What a sweet story! You were just a kid, you didn't know you were hurt them, but that experience made you learn a lesson. Your friend's gift could have been anything, but they were dragonflies, it's like they are meant to be for you.
P.S.: Here is one of my little plants from the office with a few friends too.
Loving those cute butterflies.. so creative.
Always love the artistic you. Take care and Stay Blessed!
PS: will copy this comment to HHG6Hi @mbell, yes those dragonflies are sentimental to me. I did learn my lesson well.
