 This is a tribute to my BFF, Mary Anne, whose body died (at age 53) two weeks ago.

I'm still trying to "say 'goodbye'".

Each day is a smidgen bit better. I'm gaining on it.



Life is good... even when it's not.

on the higher end of my scoring.
sorry to hear of your friends passing; it's never easy, and this is a beautiful image to express what we all go through.
it never stops hurting, it just gets easier with time.

Aww, poor, lonely Woody. Why do I feel like the cat is just waiting to attack him?

Awww... I love your use of perspective and proportion in this shot. Even have Woody on tiptoe to see out. I think the rug (the circles especially) add a lot to the image - it provides a welcoming factor to balance out the stark lines throughout the rest of the image.
