Dawn
My mother took her last breath just as the sun rose. A few moments later, all of the talk, prayer, singing, hustle and bustle has been stilled by the sacred moment of passing into the presence of the Lover of her soul.
Thomas, I am sorry for the loss of your mom. Your caption is so poetic, and makes your photo even more powerful. I love how your photo and story resonated with Your Shot photographer Cathy Pepin-Toussaint: "My condolences on the passing of your mom. The lighting here is beautiful and I'm glad you had the presence of mind to capture this peaceful moment. I wish I'd done the same when my dad passed." Thank you both for sharing with us.
