Beautiful sculpture and well captured. I like how you held the reveal of the dedication until the end. Touching.

thanks, it’s a pretty emotional site (no kidding sherlock!) one that i don’t think a lot of people know about or appreciate; it’s just awful when i come across a parent, man, i once thought i could handle any situation, but to meet a lady who lost her child one day after holding her in her arms and hear her suffering, wow. thanks for your words and sentiment, very much appreciated
