Hi everyone, Happy Easter! Lately I finished two small ones after a big break to mourn my dad’s passing away. He passed last March. This last year was really hard for me. Anyway, my mom decided to join him in heaven, exactly one year after his passing away. She passed on March 8. There are no words to describe how I feel and I really need time to recover from this. I am trying to cope but my emotion overcomes logic. All I have to say is cherish every single moment with your parents. ‘Joyful Cruise with Luke’, 8x8.5" ![Joyful Cruise with Luke](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/9/9fe65152d14a06d82035ea9cecffd7bdd52a8042.jpeg) ‘Wanna Play’, pastel, 7x11” ![Wanna Play (2)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/e/ef64548aec1409919fa8356dad96000ce19d4321.jpeg) ---

Thank you Alexandra! I am glad you enjoy my little tales of happiness. We live in difficult times and our memories of the innocence of childhood will always be here to soothe our worries. ---
