Moments of Sorrow

April 21, 2010 by Ella

I received some sad news yesterday from a friend. A young girl, at 29 died of lung cancer. I wrote about her briefly a few weeks ago when I posted about wheatgrass. Well, natural therapies or not, a serious disease like that will get you sooner or later – unless there’s a miracle – and there ARE miracles but not for Candice. She only had a few months notice that her time has come.  We met a year ago on a vacation, and we stayed in touch since. She was so naturally beautiful, vibrant and a pleasure to have met. I am incredibly saddened by this. I’m still in disbelief and in sincere sympathy for her fiancee and her family.

While thinking about Candice I started to create this digital poster for her family that I’m planning to print on canvas and send to them.

digital art canvas poster with inspirational in deepest sympathy quote

This art canvas is just perfect because my white magnolia was in full bloom when she died. I hope her family will like it – it’s just a little gesture of sympathy I want to share.

I spent the day just constantly reflecting on life… how LUCK has a lot to do with how things unfold for us all. When difficult times are in front of us, we need to surround ourselves with the people we love and help each other  through the days ahead.
