The darkness disappeares
She's in the Light forever
Reunited with her Maker
In front of His lovely face
Three years ago on this date I was driving to my work in the morning. My cellphone rang and a nurse told me that my mother had passed away in that night. Before I realized what had happened I turned around and went home again... Sad days with grief and mourning followed. Impressive days.
At that night I processed this image and called it 'Coming Home'. It's a photograph of a painting (I didn't make the painting myself, but I post processed the digital picture quite a bit). The picture shows a person that's coming home.
In my mother's last years she was suffering of the Alzheimer disease. She lived in mental darkness (as far as we could determine). On this picture she's going towards the Light. I believe Jezus Christ is that Light and called my mother home. He gave her a new eternal live in bright Light. She's free of pain, sorrow, diseases and death. She's alive ! At home.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Hi Mas,
Its beautiful!! It gives me a memory, that I don't want to forget! You can see the message in this photo! Great frame! Beautiful matching colours!
(Hij is mooi, Mas. Ik moest gelijk weer aan ons zingen denken. Ik herkende hem gelijk op de gallery! Fijn om hieraan terug te denken, ondanks het verdrietige gevoel.Het was een waardevol en betekenisvolle dienst!)

Thats very bold of you to have used the filter and effect to such an extent. Whatever it may mean, I simply like the outcome. The pastel hues, th tones and the textures are great and breath taking. nice innovative and bold work
A beautiful, delicate, full of taste work!
The shades, the pastel tones and a great pp make this image very special and meaningful, especially after reading your note ... sorry to hear about your loss ...

Hoi Marcel,
Indrukwekkende bewerking. Begrijp uit je verschillende notities dat je deze bespiegelingen moed en rust geeft. Daar ben ik blij om voor je! Het herdenken van je lieve moeder is mooi, ze was een fijne vrouw, dat kan ik uit eigen ervaring zeggen! Hoop je binnenkort te spreken.
Hans
