[QUOTE="nvts, post: 299971, member: 3814"] Hi Terry, I know how you feel (sort of). My mom was a very gifted artist. When I was a kid in grade school, she belonged to the volunteer group that cleaned the church and got carried away. We Catholics "do" the stations of the cross. There are 12 different "key" points when Jesus was going through the various points during the entire crucifiction. Mom decided that they needed a good cleaning, washed them and all of the slight painting of these 3-D wall statues came off. She offered to paint all of them. She put in pain staking hours and brought these things to life. They were absolutely stunning. People commented on them always and we were so proud of the job she did, that our chests puffed with pride. Two years after she died, the church burned down to rubble. Not one of them survived. It's heart wrenching to see all of that work, that can never be replaced, that no picture can clearly do justice to, just disappear. I truly am sorry for your loss. Eat 1/2 your chocolate, get up and get difficult child out to school and then eat the rest of the candy. You deserve it. Beth [/QUOTE]
