Allways...
Uploaded: September 29, 2010
Nika passed away this evening, she was in our family for seven years. I arrived one day with a two months Nika to release my daughter (Bea in the photo) from her panic against dogs. Soon Bea and Nika became a kind of best friends, enjoying an intimacy that hardly we find from human to human, as if both knew that they were deeply related. I never saw Bea sad when Nika was around and same applied to Nika. Now Bea is devastated, we all are but these two had a special connection. We will allways miss Nika.

My heart goes out to Bea and you're whole family. This is a beautiful portrait of them and he will be in your hearts always!!! #8937932Michelle Alton September 30, 2010
Seven years is too short. Our Peter, who looked remarkably like Nika, had the same effect on people, and he, too, was taken too early. We feel your anguish, but Nika will live in Bea's (and in the hearts of your whole family) forever.A wonderful portrait and memory, Joao. #8938268
