Angels, Roses and Rain...




"Angels Cry With Roses and Rain"

(edited with Kim Klassen's Pourvous @35% Lighten)


Attended a funeral yesterday.  As with the passing of loved ones, sadness is a natural part of the process.  But it was also a celebration of a long and loving life.  There is a new guardian angel looking over so many of my family and friends.  So the next time you see a rose with rain drops...remember that Angels cry with roses and rain.  And sometimes those tears are those of happiness.  R.I.P.

God Bless...

  4. Thank you....it was truly a celebration of life. Nothing meant more to Mom than family. I have no doubt both Mom and Dad were smiling down on us and happy that we were surrounded by loving family and friends. I am glad you were all a part of it.

  17. Kathy, I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way...I'm so sorry for you rloss. Your photo is exquisite. The focus of that leaf takes my breath away! Just today I went to my favorite little town to take photos, and I stumbled upon the most beautiful rose. It had water drops all over it and I was thrilled to get a shot of it. Reading your post gives it so much more importance now.
