The Picture

     "A picture is worth a thousand words"

                                              Exact origin uncertain, early 1900's

     The story, that was told to me, about this picture is as follows:

     The person who took the picture was attending the funeral service of a young child.  While at the cemetery, the person noticed the sky was beginning to darken, with large black clouds rolling in. The person raised their camera and took a picture.  It wasn't until afterwards, when the picture was developed, that they noticed what looked like the image of a robed figure, with possibly the image of a small child under the figures' arm.

     This picture was given to me by a friend.  This friend was grieving the recent loss of his own child, trying so hard to come to terms with what life had dealt.  The picture gave him hope, gave him comfort.

     May it do the same for you.
