In Loving Memory

Adi went to Heaven
serenely and in peace.
A white cloud drifted by
calling my love.

“Look Mummy!” my love said
“How far I can leap!”
and he leapt far.

His golden hair
his angel smile
his little hand
waving good-bye.

(written by Carmen, Adi’s Mum, in the day he died)

    I am so saddened to read about the loss of your treasured little Adi, Carmen. I am saddened and puzzled by the inexplicable cruelty in the world around us every day, and nature’s cruelty and suffering being on top of that list. It bothers me immensely and fills me with pain. The only thing one can do is block it out of your mind and focus on the beauty and joy of nature, my personal way of coping with this crazy place that God created.

  • I find some solace in the appreciation of your beautiful images, Keith. Thank you for your compassionate note.
