And don't tuck away those mother tools just yet, the job is never truly done. And besides, I hear they turn into fabulous "grandmother tools" if you keep them polished and ready! :)<br /><br />Can't believe the countdown has no more days, only hours.

This made me cry a little and remember Heidi all through elementary, jr high and high school. Although I was never best friends with her I always thought of her as a friend and I guess I owe it to you for making her the great person she is. You've done well and she's ready and so are you. <br /><br />I have also fallen in love with art this year being in Humanities and I am actually going to take an art history class in the fall. I am so excited and I love art and analyzing it and really breaking it apart to its very core of why this piece is beautiful. If the nursing program wasn't so rigorous here I would minor in either Humanities or Art history.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891163348500835795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-19260670783990805642010-04-12T12:38:20.131-07:002010-04-12T12:38:20.131-07:00I'm not sure we are EVER done.

It will be something she'll treasure and read often as she sculpts and sets free her own angels. And like any beautiful work of art, we fall in love with it ourselves. We want someone to love our work enough to want it for their own, and yet it's so bittersweet to let it go. Oh - I just loved this post! It really touched something in me.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-31682887570835361292010-04-12T09:14:33.995-07:002010-04-12T09:14:33.995-07:00Of course, I cried.

Also, as you know, I am using the fine chisel and will soon be polishing. Sigh... The work you have done is a masterpiece. And we quite admire your 2nd work of art, also. :) Enjoy every minute of today and tomorrow!Jen Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292070073995166056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-42156928647227281842010-04-12T09:08:14.687-07:002010-04-12T09:08:14.687-07:00Goosebumps and tears as I read this this morning. ...Goosebumps and tears as I read this this morning.
