The detail in his painting, right down to the holding of the candles in their tiny hands . . . OMG, my tears won't stop right now.<br /><br />I've never been moved to tears by a painting before. Please share with your father that he evoked a great outpouring of emotion in those who have viewed his very personal painting. <br /><br />Oh my, not sure how I am going to recollect myself for the rest of this very busy day?!Ms. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734867984972785143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-40808639184951196802011-04-06T14:04:48.241-04:002011-04-06T14:04:48.241-04:00You need a disclaimer so I dont read this stuff at...You need a disclaimer so I dont read this stuff at work!

That is one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever seen.<br />My dad was an architech and about 5 years ago he gave Bobby and I plans for a house as a gift. I can't wait for one day when we are able to build in and live in his "gift" to us. He's passed away since then and so to have something so tangible as a reminder of his love. I'm so glad that you have the same thing now!<br />xoxoxHillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-81900099703473395202011-04-06T08:11:36.899-04:002011-04-06T08:11:36.899-04:00It's beautifulIt's beautifulStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675197616280434252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-55494902938798535872011-04-06T08:07:47.619-04:002011-04-06T08:07:47.619-04:00What an amazingly precious gift!
