exactly Tom i couldn't resist using that line with the picture - had tragic news on Thursday I am still coming to terms with it and finding it so difficult - i walked round the graveyard yesterday and this poem came to me - I was trying to get a pic with a crow on the grave but they were up in the trees:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jenna I had tragic news on Thursday night it has truly knocked me for six she was only 33:-( took my camera with me when I visited mum and found peace as I wandered around the graveyard - the title still life reflected that life still goes on for those left to grieve:-( hugs jan xx
