Dekar smiled shortly before passing on. I was holding him as he was taking his last breaths and he looked at me and smiled. It was such a blessing and equally amazing that my daughter actually caught the fleeting smile with her camera! Whenever I see Dekar’s smile I remember how I felt -it was a bittersweet feeling of believing he enjoyed his time on earth and yet he knew it was his time to go Home.
His smile was a “thank you” and a “good-bye”.
He only knew love on earth, and now he only knows love in heaven. And I can hang on to the hope that I will see him again. 🙂
Teresa Howell offered her artistic talent to make the above memorial snowglobe for the holiday season. Thank you, Teresa!
