OMG, look at what I just got!! It's a sketch of my Becca done by Linda's husband Barney (Linda44).
I had seen where Barney had done a sketch of/for Linda's GE buddy and was amazed by his talent. I pm'd Linda to tell her how great Barney's work was, and I told her a little about my Becca.
For most of Becca's 11 years with me, I did not own a camera. By the time I finally bought one, Becca was already very sick with cancer (although I didn't know it yet) and none of my pictures showed her the way she really was. I have only one very tiny photo of her that was given to me by a friend that really shows her personality and feisty spirit.
Saturday, this sketch arrived in the mail. Barney drew it from a photo of my one tiny picture. I can't begin to explain how much this drawing of my baby girl means to me. It's so beautiful, and it will be treasured forever. Oh, and they even had it framed and matted before they sent it to me!
Linda and Barney, thank you again so much! You are very, very special people and I am blessed to know you.
The first attachment is my very blurry photo of the little picture that Barney drew from. The second is Barney's amazing sketch of Becca (Linda actually took this photo - and she has others pics of Barney's sketches in her YT albums).
