She knows how special this kitty was, especially to our children. She also knows that art helps unlock something in us. It's therapeutic; we need it.
She uses visual art to honor, empathize, celebrate, and memorialize. She's a treasure to our community.
Jenny teaches me all the ways God uses our experiences and our talents to bless and enter into the lives of others.
Jenny has a grieving ministry in our neighborhood for whatever you've lost--large or small. I'm so thankful for her.
What an absolutely wonderful gift - both the gift that Jenny has been given and the one that she, in turn, gave to you.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty and truth, Heather. I had a local artist do a portrait of my "best dog ever", Ada. Afterward I felt a bit foolish but she captured the essence of my Poodle. Years have past now but the portrait makes me smile and remember with gratitude the gift of a special pet and the gift of the artist.
ReplyDeleteI know you will treasure this wonderful likeness of Jack; I'm so glad you have Jenny in your life.
The picture of Jack took my breath away. It's so beautiful. You have a treasure in the picture and in your talented, lovely friend. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I was sad to read about Jack, having enjoyed his unfolding story in your family.
