Cloud Dancing, colored pencils on paper, 2010
My dear
Anne,
This
is a special note for you… I’m so terribly sad to learn about your news, and it
makes me mad to think that this horrible disease has entered the life of so
many of my friends and beloved ones. But I know that you will fight it with all
your might because you are without a doubt, one of the strongest people I know with
a huge passion for life.
Please
keep in your mind and in your heart that your friends will always be there to
hold your hands, whether near or far. Never lose faith because I know you have
plenty and even so much more to share as you have been doing all this time.
Just
keep dancing, my friend, even when the clouds hover above your head.
Hugs
and kisses,
Amalia

What a beautiful illustration. I love the texture of her dress. May God bless Anne.
ReplyDeleteAmalia, you are so sweet to do this. Tsup!
Amalia, well how beautiful and full of joy. The contrast of the smile and the rain, the umbrella sheltering us from the elements. My thoughts are with your friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words for a beautiful and strong lady. Your drawing for Anne is so sweet, Amalia. I am certain she will be touched by it. Bless you. I think one reason Anne will beat this is because she is surrounded with the love of her friends from everywhere around the world. How great is that?

ReplyDeleteI am doing good, just pushing along. Going to beat this thing, one way or the other, so I get to wear that red coat and dance in the rain!
