An oil painting of my youngest son -

- with our dog, Mökö, some 13 years ago. Time flies the older you get, that is so true.

Mökö was a French bulldog. It died peacefully in its sleep at the age of 11 in 2012.

My son is now doing his Master's and will turn 27 next month.

Sigh. - But you never know what the future will bring, so we better stay alert and optimistic :)
