Due to some terrible circumstances, I won't be able to provide a higher quality picture. It was a rush job that I made for a dear friend who was in hospice care, from some granite in the park near where we were once roommates. I got to give it to him the last day he was talking, and his sister sent me this picture after our visit of him holding it.  I still stink at hearts so it's more of a sentimental one than one to be proud of as a cab (I did manage to leave the crevice scratch-free for once), but I'm thankful that you helped me give something of meaning to my friend in a time of utmost need. Thank you. |

Well it sounds like it was the perfect cab at the perfect moment & don't let anyone tell you differently ! You don't need a better photo than that -It looks like excellent work, and you were an excellent friend.  Patty |

Wow iamchris This is very touching, and hits home quite hard right now. I’m so sorry to hear of your friend. Your handmade gift to him is beautiful in so many ways. I apologize for chiding you jokingly about a photo but I’m grateful you decided to share it with us. Thank you and thoughts and prayers to you and your people. |

I'm a full believer in the "pics or it didn't happen" mantra! I was torn between just posting the next one I made, or being a downer and telling the truth. But it sincerely meant a lot to me to be able to make him something from local materials. He was always very creative and artistic and it was nice to be the one to make something for him for once. Thank you again, Patty. No clue how you managed that wrap BTW! Maybe I'll try in a few years |

Handmade always means a lot. I'm sorry about your friend. I'll keep y'all in my thoughts. |

Thank you. Chris, what a wonderful thing to do. A gift from the heart never stinks for the recipient. Never. Your gesture means more than 100 perfect hearts would mean. |
