A friend of ours died last week at the age of 49.
I made this card for my friend Daniëlle and her daughter Sophie who are heartbroken by the loss of her dear husband and Father.
Peter was cremated today. Sometimes life seems unfair and unpredictable.
Peter knew, after a lung transplant, how to enjoy life, I admire him for that.
Enjoy life dear people! Make every moment count and tell your loved ones you love them.
Feel the good things, which are given to you........hear the birds whistle for you.........see the beauty around you, just for you!. Open up your senses. The best things in life are free.

I am so sorry to hear that a wonderful person has departed from this earth so early. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteTo go along with your beautiful tribute I would like to share my life moto that you have probably heard. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Share one of these moments with someone you love!
