Goodbye to my Step-Father
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. My step-father passed away. Our family, especially my mother, is experiencing such a loss. We had his funeral on Monday, which was a very lovely service. I know that he had accepted Jesus as his personal savior and lives in Heaven today. When we have a loved one pass away, it's hard to let them go. However, we can find comfort in knowing they are no longer in pain and are walking streets of gold with our heavenly father. When we make portraits of our family and friends we have reminders and memories of the times we cherish and can pass these on to future generations. I'm glad that I was able to make a portrait of my mother and my step-father.
