Description
Created in Ultra Fractal with 'Bring It In' for the angel.
Requiem for my Beloved.... And the Angels Wept.
This is the same angel that I used in this image:

(sorry, I don't know how to 'code' these messages.)
This angel has been a guardian angel for over a year while my husband was ill.
He sat on a shelf that has been on the wall ever since we bought our house.
That shelf hung only inches from my husband's hospital bed.
On April 7, that shelf fell off the wall and crashed to the floor.
None of the other glass objects on that shelf broke...
except for this angel.
I couldn't breathe for a moment and my heart nearly stopped
as I immediately saw it as a bad sign.
Mike died 18 hours later.
I glued the angel back together and he's back on the shelf,
but without anyone to watch over. A lovely three foot tall
angel with fairy wings holding flowers now watches over his grave.
Thank you for stopping by and thanks so much for all your
kind messages of love and support as I work through
these first days of grieving. Love, Maria

What a lovely scene, Maria! I love the celtic knots cross and the way the light illuminates the ground. Excellent stuff, Tex! (fractals can be good to keep your mind off of stuff - hang in there, my friend, EVERYTHING gets better with time...)

Very beautiful and touching Requiem image. Thank you for telling about this angel. Being with friends online as well as offline can be so supportive and help with the grief process. Your virtual friend here cannot physically put their arms around you, but you must know we would it we could. God Bless and comfort you in this difficult time. Marion

An amazing image, which clearly shows the depth of your love for Mike. None of us are spared this wrenching experience of loss in some form in our lives, we can only be there for each other when the time comes. Out of the pain will come wisdom and peace. I wish you both.

This story is amazing, as is your image. Yes, sometimes I feel that we are not alone, even if I do not believe in god in the same way as you.
