Description > This photo of the water lily is dedicated to my Great Uncle Alan who passed away last night due to lung cancer. 12.1.09

He was the loveliest man you would ever meet. He had a huge heart, he had a twinkle in his eye when he talked to ladies. He joked and flirted with the nurses in Hospital, telling them he loved them. He was in Hospital on Christmas day, and came home again, only to be admitted last Saturday due to complications.
All my memories of him have been sweet. He was always kind hearted to me, and my siblings. Alan lived a very tough life, he lost his mother when he was 10 years old, and was raised by his older sisters. Later on in his life, he went to live with my Nanna, and she looked after him, despite her own health issues.

Always remember to appreciate the amazing people in your life, you never know when they may slip away...

So sorry for the belated reply! I have been absent on dA for awhile but I have returned! Thank you for your kind words! I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle.. and your grandfather.. I will send a prayer for your family
I took this photo at a place called Cloud Hill (Gardens) in Mt Dandenong, Melbourne. It has the most stunning gardens, lakes etc. There's a nursery, a cafe, and then the main gardens at the back which are a good few mile walk.
Thank you again!

Thank you so much.
I didn't know him as well as I would have liked, but I always remember him as being a happy person. He had a hard life, and I hope he left feeling very loved. That's what matters to me the most.

thats beautiful, sorry bout your uncle, must of been tough but i bet he savoured every last drop of life he had by the sounds of it. my granpa is going thru somthing similar, back and forth to the hospital because of heart problems and prostate. if i get to it may i illustrate this photograph? i might not start right away or do it at all but its definatly something worth drawing. ill give you credit if i do it in my finished product
