Am touch. Never knw something like dis can weaken me. #tearsrolling#
ReplyDeleteThose Russian soldiers before the battle really got to me. You can feel the tension, anxiety, uncertainty, fear; all being fought against with prayers and battle cries. Those men were brave. I learnt over 200,000 died. Brave men. World War II was really bloody.
ReplyDeletePicture 26 brought tears to my eyes. I decided to Google more on the boy,
ReplyDeleteDiego Frazão Torquato.

Afro Reggae. This photo was taken at the funeral
of Evandro João da Silva, a mentor and
coordinator for the group, who was killed in an
assault in October of 2009 in Rio De Janerio.
Diego died in March of 2010 from complications
of leukemia.

ReplyDeleteVery emotional pics! Alcoholic father & son, the falling man is so touching! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis pictures touched the deepest part of my heart. It brings to mind the futility of life. The quest to gain the whole world makes one forget to show love to people that have given up so much for us...abeg let me go and call my family and remind them how much they mean to me...tnx sdk for this lovely piece
ReplyDeletePriceless Pictures!!!! Brought tears to my eyes...... Well-done Stella. May God Bless U.
ReplyDelete@ Julinah those scratches on the wall are the desperate nail scratches of the Jews been gassed to death. Those are the scratches of dead men, women & children on the wall.
ReplyDeleteProfound pictures & heart tugging...Life is nothing; Yet it is EVERYTHING
OMG!
DeleteThe two graves of a catholic and Protestant. We still have that difference in us today. After so many years , I still hear people say, "I'm from an anglican family and can't marry a catholic" and vice versa. When will people realise its one heaven?one God? It doesn't matter if u pray tge rosary or speak in tongues, what matters is how you have lived for christ.........
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are heart breaking.
So touching. Can't stop the tears. To think Diego died too? So sad. The dog that refused to leave his masters' grave, the hugging couple, the falling man(several men and women jumped off the world trade centre to their deaths). So so touching. Please let's try to touch the lives of others no matter how small. God bless us all.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost loosing hope in everytin, I struggle hard to achieve but at the end I get very close and loose it, in school I read alot made lecturers friend did my best only for my total g.p to be 2.96 just 0.04 to achieve my upper and I cudnt, very close to getting a job with the airforce, I didn't and four of my colleagues got it and were surprised y I didn't? My g.f just told me she trying to be reralistic that I might not be able to take care of her, my landlord gave my parents quit notice with whom I'm staying with and lot more...
