Painfully Beautiful

My dear nephew Paul was here the week before Dad passed away. He cared for Dad so gently and respectfully. Paul brought his violin and played for hours for Mom and Dad. He also brought his camera and took these beautiful pictures. They make me cry.

  1. So sad! I'm sorry! I can't imagine, and I dread the day for me. Love to all of you.

  2. Thank you, Gwen. I posted two of the pictures on my FB account. I am tired of death, decay, change, saying goodbye, cancer, illness, rashes, smothering heat, and many more things..."we feebly struggle, they in glory shine." from "For All the Saints" which was sung at our Grandma Poole's funeral.

  4. Made me cry as well, especially the one of him asleep in his chair with your mom in the background... So beautiful.

  5. Oh, I hadn't even made it down this far when I commented in the previous post. Once again wiping away tears. Thank you for sharing these beautiful glimpses into the love you share as a family. What a treasure. Sending my love and praying ~
