It is so hard without my son

Buba, you are a genius! Thank you!
This apple is really quite remarkable. I have never seen an apple spoiling in any pattern other than growing blotches!
 
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Buba, that is remarkable! and beautiful.
 
How did you manage to put it on the forum?

Dear Gina,
I wish I had a magic wand,too.But I realized,long time ago,that they exist only in fairy tales...
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts,

Dear Edda and Jude,
don`t ask ME how I did it !It was too complicated for me so my son Dejan did it.
Margaret told me how to post photo,only from the Web.But I wanted to post
a photo from my PC and  didn`t know what to do.
Anyway I want to show this image to you.Isn`t it unusual? And very interesting thing:
the other side of this apple was untouched (looking healthy).
As I could not keep this apple forever,I remembered to take a photo.
 
I just wonder what that little "tail" coming out from the heart can be ? May be a candle
which is burning but up-side-dawn ?
 
with regards
Buba,Goran`s mom

Buba, having an good look at the picture, to me it looks like a little upsidedown person with either a hook of a letter G coming out of it's head. ?

Dear Buba,
 
My thanks to your son Dejan! Perhaps he could explain to ALL of us how he accomplished the feat!
Young people growing up with computers and all the new technology are so much better in working with them. Keeps us "mature" people humble!
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Here is instruction for posting photos :
If you want to post a pictures , they have to be on a website in order for them to appear.  If you find an image you want and right click on it, you should see what the web address (url) for it is.  Copy that address.  Then go to your post and click on that little icon that looks like a picture of a mountain and the moon and paste that url into the box that comes up. This is not complicated,but when you want to post your own photo from your PC  too complicated for explane...
 
Ask for help someone younger  !!!
Buba,Goran`s mom

Oh Bubba I think your apple is truly wonderful! I am so glad for you and that you are able to keep a picture of it. It would be nice to frame the picture and keep it in your kitchen!

love and light

Oh I forgot, another way of doing the pictures is:
 
If you have them saved on your computer, you can go to a place on the web like "photobucket"; you will need to register, but it is free, then you can download the picture into what ever size you want, and have it saved in your "photobucket" album. You can then click on the picture on the photobucket page, copy it on to your clipboard, and then simply paste it onto where you would be typing a message.
hope that helps
Gina

Gina, thank you! I'm sure Arow or someone told us how to do this once. I will have to try it sometime.
 
Love, Jude

Love is the only way

Dear Jude,
tears came in my eyes when I saw a letter G and that little person as you said...

Dear Gina,
you gave me a great idea!I will frame this picture and put it on the wall.

PS: Thank you for instructions,I allways like to learn something new but my son who is
      pc expert  has no patience to explain this things to beginners as I am.

with regards
Buba,Goran`s mom

Thank you Buba and Gina for the instructions on posting a photograph. One way or the other, I will try again (in my spare time) to share with you some photographs as well~~
Children and young people are so much more savvy than the rest of us. They have never lived in a pre-computer and television era like the rest of us. In a way I feel sorry for the experiences they will not have like we did.
Ah, the world was a different place then . . .
Do I dare say "the good old days"?
with love . . .

Dear Buba,
 
I am new here and just found this topic. I wanted to tell you that the apple is amazing to me; it looks like your son drew the image of the heart onto the apple~ it doesnt look spoiled to me, it looks dedicated to you.
 
I will take some time to go to your link and read your story the next time I have more than a couple of minutes internet time.
 
And right now, before I log off, I will use my initials KRH and light a new candle for Goran under that group name. I hope you find this post and can view it before the candle goes out. Perhaps knowing your fellow forum members care and share your grief is comforting. I sure hope it is.
 
My name is Karen and I have lost both my parents. Not the same grief as a child, but still hard to bear. I invite you to PM me if you want to "talk" about anything. I can only begin to imagine your pain, and wanted to give you a virtual hug
 
((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))
 
Hang in there!

Dear Karen,
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, and for your candle.
I am sorry about your loss of both parents and I know how it is dificult because I lost my mom 11 months before my son.
I had no enough time to grive my mom when tragedy with my son happened.Now I still have very hard times to cope with loss of two very close persons in my life.I miss them both very much and think of them 24 hours every day...But life goes on and don`t mind for my feelings.So I have to fight with my own hard emotions and with every days life problems...
Not easy ...

with regards,
Buba,Goran`s mom

Dear Buba . . .
I hope that you have been finding hope and comfort here.
It sounds like you begin to find a smile here and there . . .
I always look forward to your posts
and  see you continue to heal, grow strong and discover that your grief can be transformed into an even greater love . . .
it is possible.
with much love to you across the miles . . .

Dear Karen . . .
Your thoughtfulness and kind words are so welcome here.
I grieve for your sadness. Sadly, our parents must leave us for their next journey as must we someday, but they always remain in our hearts. I lost my father a few years ago and felt much loss at his death, but with that has come a new tenderness . . . a warm place in my heart that was not there before. It is the imprint of his love for me.
Do you have a candle group where we can cast a light into your world?
with much love . . .

Lil Sparrow-

thank you for your comforting thoughts about my parents. Your compliments about what I have posted make me feel good about myself. Thank you for that too.

I will now start a candle group for  my parents' memory called

Mary (for my mom) and a second group Vince (For my dad)...I know they may include other people's candles for other mary's and vince's but that is fine with me.
 
I also have a myspace, if you all dont mind visiting that site, which is dedicated to their memory and legacy of love.
 
here is the link to the myspace.

thanks for your interest in lighting candles for my parents. I do not grieve hard anymore. I do miss them terribly, but I know they are in a better place and my faith believes they are together again. They were separated 4 years because of her death in 2001 and his in 2005. I am very grateful to have had my parents into their elderly years and all the fantastic times we had together. Time has eased the pain of their loss, but my faith also believes that they are in a peaceful loving place with no pain, no suffering, and no worries. Mom had alot of pain and the end and Dad was a chronic worrier.
 
I hope anyone reading this has a wonderful day full of gratefulness.
 
Love Karen

Dearest Buba, Now I have time to read your son's story. It is indeed sad in many ways, but you were blessed to have had him in your lives while you did. Something so unpredictable has got to be hard to bear for anyone. I will go light another candle, this one for you today, under his group name, lifting you up and holding you in a virtual hug. I hope today is a good day for you Buba.
 
 
 
Also, I hope you dont mind what they call stealing a topic at the other forum I write at. I didnt mean to take away anything from your topic, but my parents got mentioned here so I figured it was ok........

...........Hi all-

To differentiate my mom's candle group from other Mary groups, I made it into MaryH this morning. If anyone wants to light a candle for my Mom who has passed, please look for that group. My dad's remains under the name Vince. thanks

Mom had a rough last few years and I am glad she is not suffering anymore.

Love Karen

Dear Buba,
 
I will go light a candle for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. My sister died 30 years ago this year and often times it still and always will be painful. Years go by but it affects your life forever. I bekieve remembering our times with them is the best thing to do but sometimes the missing is all I still do. I believe love demands the grief. And we must respect that and honor it in our own way. And my father passed away 4 years ago.. I think that has also brought up memories of my sisters death for me.
 
I read your story and the tears just flowed for all of you. I pray for your healing and your families as well.  I send you love and light. Bring him with you everywhere you go. Honor his spirit everyday in your own unique way.
 
Sending you love,

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are

Karebear,
 
I went on your site for a moment and viewed your pictures. How beautiful and touching. I'll light a candle for you and your parents.
 
It is different when our parents go. When pain is involved and we can be comforted in their release of this. Though its so hard to be without our loved ones who have always been there for us.
 
Sending you love and light,

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are
