ZOOMED IN - Museé d'Orsay, 2003

I magnified this picture to see her beautiful lovable face better. It is one of my favourite photos of her. She radiates that pure goodness, honesty, gentleness that was so unique in her. Among all those shifty, ill-willed, unintelligent, disloyal, feelingless, scheming women I have known or seen even among family, she was an amazing exception under any circumstances. She regularly surprised me with her pure soul, of which I got frequent proof, when she couldn't have been aware that I knew about her words and emotions expressed to others, who later told me about it. I treasured every moment she was with me. Sadly, I probably didn't show it as well as I now wish I had done. "You don't miss your water until your well runs dry."
