This is a dedication to a wonderful woman who recently lost her child. My heart bleeds deeply for her. I can't begin to imagine what you've been through, girl. May our tears heal your sorrow.

( a musical dedication: [link] )

Calling All Angels- K.D. Lang

"Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir
and all the rest

a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
and high above the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness the body oh the heaviness settles in
somewhere you can hear a mother sing

then it's one foot then the other as you step out onto the road
how much weight? how much weight?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times before it's too late?

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
and we're not sure how...

and every day you gaze upon the sunset
with such love and intensity
it's almost...it's almost as if
if you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand what this all means

but if you could...do you think you would
trade in all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the sweetness of the leaving

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
callin' all angels
callin' all angels
we're tryin'
we're hopin'
we're hurtin'
we're lovin'
we're cryin'
we're callin'
'cause we're not sure how this goes"

Thank you love. She deserves to be recognized for her strength. I'm not sure I would have 'it' in me to handle what she has.

thanks for using my stock :hug: I really like what you have done with it. Turned the bed happy to looking pretty sad if you ask me. Looks like post traumatic stress syndrome to me. If wrong then sorry thats just the feel I get from the dark colors. It's a very pretty sad. Thanks again for using my stock. :D

just too sad! even without knowing the story behind it, the mother looks distant from the carriage, there's a definite sense of things not being right. has a slightly surreal look too that i really like.

Hey! You kids get offa my lawn!

I thought that minimilism was the way to go on this one. I tried to make the focal point, the baby carriage. I wanted the water to be pulling the carriage away from the mother. Her being so far from it was because there was nothing she could do but resign herself to losing the child. There was no other option. I'm glad that you noticed a lot of my intentions!
