Yesterday, we had to say good-bye to someone that's been through a lot and been with us for a long time.  She held on to this life as much as she could and showed respectable amount of tenacity and strength.  However, we knew it was time to say good-bye so she could join her loved ones in a world that's free of pain.  

No matter how well one is prepared for this moment, it is never enough to endure the separation.  I'm so glad that I made this image of her a few years ago when I followed my urge (and not like the other time when I missed the opportunity) so that I will always remember her the way she was on that warm afternoon, reminiscing her life stories.  

Good-bye for now and take care on the other side!
