Some time ago I wrote this post about artist Kaziah Hancock and Project Compassion.

I had seen a news report and was touched by the compassion as she reached out to the parents and spouses of fallen soldiers, providing them with gallery quality portraits of a lost loved one.

In the course of checking for updates, I discovered that Project Compassion has grown to include 5 artists — each completing a minimum of one of these exquisite memorial portraits each week.

There is also a new film documenting this loving work. To quote the filmmakers’ site “proof that one person can make a difference.”

I believe that you will find Kaziah’s contribution to these families deeply moving and especially appropriate as we head toward Memorial Day.

How’s this for a kid with a positive attitude??? If her energy and enthusiasm are contagious then I’m going to have a great day!

By the way, this month’s Marriage and Family Conference Online ‘opens’ tomorrow — which means that if you register today you’ll get an additional $10 off.

This month’s theme is Time for Mom — and who couldn’t use that??? (HINT: The workshops are good for Dads, too!)

…when parents take the long view?

OK.  Full disclosure:  I really don’t know if that is the reason that these ladies turned out to be such great grown-ups but I DO know that I enjoy reading this multi-generational look at life, love and family.

And, I’ve been a little skewed toward mother-son relationships of late.  So please take a look at Raising Amazing Daughters here.

I think you’ll be glad that you did.
