I had an entirely different post written with a bunch of pictures but that changed when I got a call from my Dad Wednesday morning that my Uncle Kenny died of an apparent heart attack. Suddenly the silly pictures of my dogs and other stuff just didn't make sense and quite frankly I wasn't feeling too darn hopeful.
In fact I've been so busy since than that I really didn't even think about You Capture until yesterday afternoon. On our way home from the funeral I saw the sun shining brightly through the clouds in one spot. This is pretty fitting because uncle Kenny was always the one that could make us laugh no matter what and always stood out in a crowd with his...um...colorful dressing (more on that maybe tomorrow).
I feel like he's telling us that it's ok....that he's ok.
And that makes me hopeful....
I am hopeful that my Grandma will once again learn to live her life after burying a son.
I am hopeful that my aunt Joanie will learn to live her life without her husband of 33 years.
I am hopeful that we will find peace.
I am hopeful that eventually we will find comfort in the fact that he didn't suffer.
I am hopeful that he has been reunited with his dad and brother.
Head on over to Beth's to check out everyone else's hopeful photos.

That's a very touching image especially with what you were going through when you saw it.
Thanks for the comment.
Sometimes, all you can do is look for signs of hope. Gorgeous shot, though I'm so sorry about the circumstances.
I'm so sorry about your uncle. Thanks for sharing the story, and the photo.
It's a beautiful photo and so fitting. I visited your blog after you left your kind message on mine offering your prayers for my son and I. It meant so much to me.
But then I read your post and realized that what I feared the most had happened to your Grandma, your aunt, and the rest of your family.
So when I pray for my son's safety every night I'll remember your family in my prayers especially during this difficult time for all of you.
