I just got a gift from a friend and it is one of the most thoughtful, kind and special gifts I have ever received.
She painted portraits of Max and Molly from some of my favorite pictures of them and it was totally unexpected. She did it as a thank you for an act that she didn’t need to say thank you for.
The portraits themselves are wonderful and I will be framing them. But along with the portraits – I am a bit overwhelmed by the act of her painting the portraits.
She didn’t have to take the time to paint them, but she did, and it is such an amazing gift – and it is one that will make me think of her and how special she is every time I look at them.
The kindness and generosity of spirit that she showed by taking the time to find the photos and then interpreting them into paintings makes me grateful not only for her friendship, but for the life we are building and the people we are including in it.
Thank you Rida. You are a very talented artist and a good friend and these portraits will be special to us for a lot of reasons, including the memory of you that they will always carry.
