Hi Lizbeth, Sending you prayers of comfort.  I remember, too, being aware and appreciative of the simple things of life that surrounded me as my mother was dying.  One such thing, was a family of swans that were swimming in the lake we could see from my mother’s hospital room.  Every day I looked forward to seeing the swans swim by.  After she ****, someone sent us a sympathy card with a picture of a lake filled with swans.  I also found a picture of a swan in a National Geographic magazine that was in flight.  I glued that picture to the image of the swimming swans.  The flying swan represented my mother moving on to a better place…free from this world and moving on to the next…for me it was a comforting, beautiful image, not unlike the picture of your husband and grandson.  An image representing life.  No matter what, we can always cherish and honor life.  I am honored that you are sharing these moments of your life with us, Lizbeth.  God bless you and your family.
