Dear Snuggles,
I began the day looking through photos. I came across one of you and me looking into each other’s eyes. In every other picture, your eyes were facing the camera or shut while you were sleeping. I was reminded of the saying that "eyes are the mirrors of the soul". Being able to remember via memories and looking into your eyes in those pictures, I had a sense that I could connect into your soul at that moment in time.
Yet, the picture of you and I looking directly into each others eyes, reminded me of so much more. For sixteen years and two months we shared a life together. Through good times/bad times, I had you close by my side. Now as the anniversary of your the fourth month since you physically leaving my side, I can close my eyes and see into your soul. Feeling the love and companionship that still exists today and everyday of our adventures together.

Your photo and your story show the powerful bond between people and animals. Your writing also shows the value of a moment in time being photographed. As you said, so many other pictures didn't have the same quality, but this photograph of your friend Snuggles, captured a very important part of Snuggles' existence. Your story and photograph went together very well.
Even though the sadness of your loss was very noticeable, I really liked your picture choice for this project. Your writing that accompanied this picture truly made the meaning and feeling of this picture complete.
Good Job!
