I've done this a second time tonight.
This is for a grieving friend who lost her husband.
She stopped today as I had some stuff from the garden for her and she started to cry. She misses her husband so much. So I painted this again hoping it makes her smile and remembers my words of support today.

She called to thank me tonight.
Nobody needs to hear how to handle it. sometimes Sometimes they just need to feel loved.

Thank you for capturing the the moment you described. It brings me to tears.
