 My dad passed away last week and it has felt like the sun will never shine again. My dogs help keep me sane and we were blessed with some warmth and sunshine even though it is the middle of winter. It's not a technically sound photo, it was taken on my phone but it is an image that reminds me that even in the middle of what feels like an eternal winter there will be moments of sunshine and spring will come again.

Love this - makes me smile every time I look at it; there's a real cheekiness -especially from the pet. :-)
