Description As some close online friends and real life friends already know, my dad is very sick.
He has cancer and there is nothing they can do for him anymore.
They started chemo 8 months ago, one week after my youngest one Bo was born. It did good and it even took control of the cancer but unfortunately it also took away many of his vital functions we take for granted, like walking... writing his own signature or something simple as holding the hand of his youngest grandchild. Yesterday dad told us and the doctors he wanted to stop treatment.

This picture was taken today with tears in my eyes.
The title TimeToHoldSomeoneElse'sHand are the exact words my dad whispered to Bo when this shot was taken.

As you might understand this is my best and most loved picture I took or will ever take.


I love you dad






Please do not use my work for anything at all!!!
My works are copyrighted, some are even licened by print stores. I had to sign legal contracts for that to prevent others from using my images. I'm truly sorry but I don't have time to answer emails and notes about this question anymore.


People keep saying my watermarks are so ugly, and I really have to agree. Even if I tried several different ones they never made my images look better. And again, I hate them more than you do. Did you know that people are selling my work(s) and works from my friends? Please try and understand my reasons.

Thanks

wow.. with tears in my eyes, I have to say that this is one of the most meaningful photos I've ever seen. My grandfather passed away from cancer and he was one of my best friends and like a second father to me. I will forever miss him. Sometimes, when I call my grandma I think maybe he will answer. But then of course reality sets in and I know that will not happen. Although he is gone, so many of my most vivid memories are of the time we spent together.

This will touch so many hearts, and will stay in yours forever. I will be praying for you and your family.
~Lisa
Please take care...




This really is such a beautiful photograph.
