Realizing this with everyone who has passed away lately. It is so sad and tragic. My hope is that we, the ones left behind, as well as those we morn for have no regrets and know without a doubt just how much love is there...in life, in death and forever in our souls.

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, This one hits home with me too!! I've had my own experiences over the years, and my sister's family underwent a like tragedy earlier this year that is very well epitomized by the "blink of an eye" image you mention above. Extraordinary heartfelt and heart-rendering at that same time!! Ingrid and I hope all is well you!! Best Always, Gary

That is such a sad write, to see a life cease is a very traumatic event, no matter who you are and who the deceased is! Like you said, it's even worse when it is a child that dies! That is so terrible, I will pray for the families! Great Work my friend!!
