Axel

Dear bubble friends…it is my honour to present another dream request.

Our bubble friend Sarah Moore requested that I create an image of her sweet boy Axel who unfortunately passed recently at less than a year and a half old.

I can’t begin to tell you how emotional this was for me to create…being a mother myself, it is a devastating moment for any parent to have gone through such heartache, and such loss…as a little sweet soul like Axel Moore.

For those of you who have not heard…here is some history:

Sarah Moore is the mother of little Axel Moore:

Sarah’s first journal since the loss of Axel:
I have written this JE a thousand times and each one has been deleted.
There are so many words that I want to say but none seem sufficient.
I can’t sleep for the images in my dreams are horrific.
My son was the most amazing child (every parent says that!) but he was special. He smiled all the time…he was never sad…he brought joy to all those around him in so many ways. He was the worst dancer in the world but he was always moving to the beat in his head.
He loved the outdoors…motorbikes and balls.
But most of all he loved his Dada. His Dada arriving home from work was the pinnacle of his day.
Our beautiful boy will live with us always in our hearts.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support, thoughts and bubblemails. It means a lot that there are so many people out there thinking of us right now.
Sarah’s Heartfelt Thanks

I finally have a few minutes to catch my breath and thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts, prayers and incredible generosity. The Redbubble community have been amazing and all my family and friend have commented on the love and support demonstrated by you all.
I thought as so many of you couldn’t be with us at the funeral to celebrate Axel’s life, that I would put the transcript here along with some pictures.
There were over 300 people at the funeral from all over Australia.
(Please click on the picture to read more)
Sarah shared with me one of her very special memories of Axel that I would like to share with you
One of Axel’s favorite things to do was collect oranges from the mandarin tree…he had his own bucket and would even eat them skin and all from the ground. He loved the outdoors so much…if he wanted to go outside, he would bring his little sneakers to mommy and plonk them on her lap saying “shoos”. This meant mommy would put them on him, then he would run to the front door and wait for mommy to open it for him so he could escape and play. He would immediately race to say hello to the dogs and than straight down to the Mandarin Tree to collect them off of the ground.
Sarah, again I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little boy…but you are truly blessed to have had those wonderful memories with him…he is in God’s hands now, and being very well taken care of…and I know he still loves his mandarin tree, I truly feel that in my heart!
Here are some beautiful pictures of Axel

    You hve expreced it well,such a beautiful and moving image,well done.

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta, 6 months ago

    Kellie, it’s enough to rip your heart out, but I have to say,
    it’s uplifting at the same time. This is without a doubt one of your best..
    the soft glows, the shadows, breathtaking. How you presented this is equally
    impressive, that Alex is merely on a journey. (Which I fully embrace and
    believe 100%!) Passing through this earth was only the begging few steps…
    he’s traveling on now but leaves behind parts of himself in all who cherish him.

    What a deeply moving piece!

  • gaylene

    gaylene, 6 months ago

    Well said Birgitta – Kellie has done a brilliant heart-felt work, yet again. Life is a journey – why not death also…it is said we meet again. Sarah – my sincere condolences to you and your husband, and all your family.

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta, 6 months ago

    I said Alex, correction: Axel and another correction-
    begging: beginning

    (guess you can tell who just rolled outta bed at 4 am!)
    Again, great job, Kellie. I think the Moores will be pleased. :)

    Oh Kellie…words are not enough. My husband and children are standing here with me and we all were speechless…it is perfect. So exactly Axel in every way. He was such a free spirit who loved an adventure…he is on his last most important adventure now…forever riding motorbikes and collecting mandarins.

    Eyal Nahmias, 5 months ago

    Truly a magnificent image. There is so much purity and innocence in it. I think you created an artwork that serves as a constant remembrance to axel but you bring forth the beauty, joy, dreamlike and innocence of a child to be viewed with delight and awe, there is nothing sad or hard in it. I see it as a wonderful, warm and sensitive tribute that can only come from a mother. Even for a person who sees this image but have no knowledge of the motive that created it, it will still be a master artwork that shows a wonderful pan of childhood, and that taps right in the heart. Yes, this image has this power.

    There aren’t really any words to describe this image, it’s far more of a feeling and a very comforting one at that. I’m sure this image means the world to Axel’s parents.

    You have an amazing gift. My little girl Laura died the day after her 7th birthday – bright red hair and so much fun and feistiness (not sure that’s a word!). I think she and Axel would get on brilliantly!
    This image has really comforted me, made me cry and smile, all at the same time. Probably not written this well, but all emotional! xx

    I am truly so sorry for your loss Tambala, being a mother myself I can’t imagine such a tragedy, I’m sure Laura and Axel would get along very well!

    I like the color the most; the atmosphere, movement and tones are perfect.
    Outstanding photo!
    The tones are simply fantastic and the composition could not have been better.
    Such a moody and dramatic photo, one of those hypnotizing images…
