Numbers 10&26 really speak volume. I can easily connect and feel the boy's sorrow, and the man's story.
The vulture boy... Good God! These and a lot more are really thought-provoking. Why ll some folks insist it is the will of God for evil of these magnitude to befall mankind?! No! They must have erred.

Where do I even start?!
I am an emotional wreck right now.
The "Father and the son before and after" got to me deep. The thought of ageing and losing my mom is one of my biggest fears.
"The Child and the Vulture" always gets to me whenever I see it.
"Wait for me daddy", the "Firefighter and the Koala", the "dog at the graveside of his owner" and of course the "Falling Man" at the world Trade center. I kept seeing video images of that on CNN at the time.
God help us all.

so nobody saw d surgeon??
cant really blame u ppl, u dont know wat happens in theatre

THAT MAKES HIM A LEGEND

Just Plain Beautiful And Touching Pictures...expert photography, beautiful works of art with poignant messages, **teary eyed**

The picture are thought-provoking. It made me reminisce about life and happenings.

These Pictures would definitely melt the stoniest of Hearts!

And they tell Me there's a most-loving, caring, benevolent, All-knowing, kind "God" up there!

I still think that "God" exists only in their subjective imaginations! In reality, he's non-existent!

Bookmarking this thread. This must be the best thread i have come across on nairaland. I connect with some of the pictures here

The dog @ the owners grave - When they say the dog is a mans best friend,it is not an exaggeration. I have had a dog as a pet before and untill u do,u will never know the bond a man and his dog pet has. Travel for long and come back,u will witness the unbridled joy with which the dog will welcome u

The father and son - Seeing that pix touched me. I lost my dad last year. A man i loved so much despite all our squabbles and bickering. That picture should have been me and u dad. I love u daddy.Miss you

The doctor in the theatre - yeah my dad was a medical doctor. I have been with him certain times in the theatre when he operated on my 2 younger ones. He was so good that he couldn't entrust his sons to another doctor for mere apendicitis and cushion of the testes. Doctors are heroes

The boy playing that violin also brought a lump in ma throat. He was really in tears. The soldier hugging her daughter after 7months,the man shedding tears @ the news of da brothers death,infact all the pix

Thank you Seun for Nairaland
