Description
9 days ago my aunt left us to take her final trip and it felt like the most special rose of the garden had been ripped out and suddenly everything around just perished. No more colors, no more sounds... just that empty feeling of a big loss. I know that in time the garden will blossom again and life will take its course... but there will never be another rose like her again... and the garden will never be the same.
Goodbye aunt Dane (Helaine).. I love you now and I will love you always...
"Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are...
I know you're there...
A breath away is not far to where you are...
... (To where you are - Josh Groban)"
Thank you all for your support and forgive me for exorcising my darkness at the moment... I just had to take it off my chest..

Sorry for your loss..beautiful tribute Ilona!!
Oh Ilona, I will cry with you. Your heart has such a hole in it now. Words can never fill that void. My heart is breaking with yours. (((((( hugs ))))))
Its heartbreaking, this is a wonderful tribute. To have something that defines and places the moment is unique. Sorry for your loss.
I am sorry to hear of your loss - and yet, like many great artists you have shown that you are skilled in turning pain into beauty, and I thank you for the magic you have once again wrought here. This is magnificent! The complexity of the image still has me looking at it to fully "take it all in". I keep seeing more each time I look - the red bird, the rose, what look to be tears on her face... the detail is indeed beautiful.
Very sorry to hear of your loss, I feel bad that I was unaware while we were chatting-- my heart goes out to you, and this work of art is now a timeless tribute. You have more talent in your little pinky than most have in their entire body, so creating something like this in memory of someone ensures that they will always be remembered, by you and anyone this image touches.
So very sorry your for your loss. What a beautiful tribute. So hauntingly beautiful.
Nice tribute...

A sad day alright Ilona... very sad... and a meaningless waste!
Surely that you bring heat to her it ace lost my Beautiful. This kind of sadness hammers us sorrows and torments and our heart remains insatiable with the memories of late the Great lady. Part of us fly away with the loss of great people. Maintaining in its travel it will have need for heats and surely that she will be able to receive our attentions. I am always to pain to hear and to perceive moments fatedic like these. I sympathized with you and all your close relations for non the presence of this Great lad That was your aunt MICKEYRONY ((5++)) Surement que tu lui apporte la chaleur qu'elle as perdue ma Belle . Ce genre de tristesse nous martelle de peines et tourments et notre coeur reste insatiable aux souvenirs de la défunte grande Dame . Une partie de nous s'envole à la perte de personnes chères. Maintenant dans son voyage elle vas avoir besoin de chaleurs et surement qu'elle pourras recevoirs nos attentions . Je suis toujours peiner d'entendre et de percevoir des moments fatédiques comme ceux-là . Je compatie avec toi et tout tes proches pour la non présence de cette grande Dame Qu'était ta tante ((5++))
Hugs to you, Ilona in this time of sadness. Such a tender expression of your feelings in your image. I'm so sorry your heart is aching right now for your beloved aunt. With the great joy you had in loving her so much comes equal sorrow in saying goodbye. There is no question that people are irreplaceable, each a beautiful rose in our life's garden, blooming so uniquely. CC

No tender words can heal but time of course will. I grieve with you and others when experiencing a loss. Family I’ve lost still remain tender in my heart yet we must not forget to share the wonderful stories we experienced with them. For myself, this has brought healing as my children and friends listen intently enjoying what I share. I am so sorry and hopefully you will draw warmth from “all the caring posts” you are reading. Such a great Renderosity family here. In my prayers, in thoughts and knowing strength will come to you. Your tribute is wonderful and worthy. Render Bud; Trac’
