The Treasure Within

12 by 24 inches

Oil

 

Three days after Todd is killed, I walk the beach searching for peace, comfort, understanding.  The sun draws my attention to a little shell glistening on the wet sand—a moon shell, simple, smooth, old, coiled with a small hole at its apex showing its inner coils. 

 

My thoughts turn to Todd’s life—full, yet cut short.  He touched so many people with his zest for life; their lives better just by knowing him.  He lived with conviction and dignity.  He knew friendship and he knew love of family, wife, and child.  He knew disappointment, sadness, sorrow.  He knew faith and love for God, understanding that our life here on earth leads to eternal life.  His life was complete.  He is in the Eternal Light. 

 

This painting is the last in a series of 21 oil paintings created in memory of my son, 1LT Todd Weaver.
