I have searched the internet trying to find the right quote to express to my Dear Friend Janet, how much we care!
I probably read well over a hundred bereavement type quotes. Nowhere could I find the right series of words to express my sorrow, for she and her family.
She has lost three family members in a tragic set of circumstances. It is the kind of tragedy that happens to other people, never to anyone you know.
My conclusion is that there are no perfect words. It is a feeling of helplessness that we hold so deep in our hearts.
She is a very strong woman who has always reached out to help others in their time of need.
The caring that she and her husband displayed to all four of their dying parents and step-parent, at different intervals, were examples that set the standards high for all of us.
She is now called on once again to help her nephew, three thousand miles away, deal with the loss of his mother, father and grand-mother.
Just know, Dear Friend, that we are here for you when you are ready. We will offer up our prayers for all involved. What you and your family must face in the weeks and months ahead is a journey that no one should ever have to endure.
We care, Dear Friend, and the strength that you possess will carry you thru once again.
I long for the day when I can see you smile again! For as long as it takes.
I ask from each of you special prayers for a family in need!
In memory of my beautiful, great-hearted dog, Scarlett (1995-2010). She lit up my world.

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the queen of sorrow,
The queen of sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good..

Marco Zoppo (Italian, Bolognese, ?1432–?1478)
Title Christ as the Man of Sorrows
Date 1470
Medium Tempera on wood, transferred from wood
Dimensions 30 1/2 x 23 in. (77.5 x 58.4 cm)
Classification Paintings
The very beautiful picture shows the dead Christ wrapped in his winding sheet for burial, displayed for veneration. His arms overlap a parapet to establish a closer link with the viewer-worshipper. The picture, dating from around 1470, must have formed part of an altarpiece, possibly as the crowning element.
Although Zoppo was trained in the same studio in Padua as Mantegna, most of his career was spent in Venice. He is one of the great eccentrics of fifteenth-century Italian painting and his wiry, sometimes contorted, but always expressive figures were much appreciated by humanist writers and patrons.
The gold background is modern.
Some say Sorrow was created deep within Blaze's bunkers for when the world turned sour...
Others say he was simply trained, trained to track and hunt people as if they were prey...
Rolleiflex SL35 with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 25mm lens and a pretty red 25a filter. This is using Ilford Delta 100, which is ok I guess. Developed in Xtol.
This façade is an abandoned auditorium on Ocean Avenue. This was perspective corrected and cropped in Gimp.
though i regret purchasing a ticket and supporting a system that locks up living creatures, i wanted access to taking these photographs. these pictures display my contemplations on animal captivity. i'm no a animal rights activist, but i still hope the pictures stimulate thought.
“A strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.”[1]
Emotions is a series of images, that explores how I visualise, the relationship of human emotions that I feel strongly about. Inspired by the emotional theories of Plutchik, Aristotle and Darwin, each image has a paired negative to positive emotion.
Emotion as a term is difficult to define – despite everyone knowing what an emotion is, if asked most observers will struggle to provide a definition. Imagery however serves up emotions as an observable human condition and a perceptible entity, a message, an epitaph to the viewer. Emotions are a powerful aid that allows us to change the way we think. The two sides of emotions are not simply negative and positive, they can have conflicting consequences. Positive emotions can lead to a contrasting negative consequence, whilst negative emotions can lead to positive consequences.
My images are an investigation into the representation of emotions as depictions, ideas realised through miniature figures. These document and question how we perceive our emotions and the tensions that circumscribe the realisation of our daily lives, the physical and mental strings that pull us, like puppets, driving us as individuals, and shaping our personal existence.
The use of miniature 00 and TT gauge figures references to both Masahiro Mori’s 1970 theory Uncanny Valley and Sigmund Freud’s seminal 1919 essay The Uncanny which hypothesizes that the “uncanny effect is produced by effacing the distinction between imagination and reality.”[2]

"SORROW"
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
You acted funny trying to spend my money
You're out there playing your high class games of sorrow...

this is about no particular person; how they always feel bad about the past, maybe they did something wrong and have never forgiven themselves for it. they always remember what happened and all the ways it could have happened better. some people need to forget about the past and live for the future although you should always remember good times that have passed.
