A Beautiful Gift from a Special Friend

Posted on April 15, 2008 by BritMumInNZ

My special friend Marrisa came round today to for a lovely lunch to give me an early Birthday present: a stunning painting by Bay of Plenty Artist Heidi Stook. I was overwhelmed with her thoughtful gift and generosity. I shall treasure it forever; just as I cherish our friendship.

The words on the back sum it all up:

Depicted within the love of family, of friendships, of growth and of discovering ones own inner strengths; ‘Infinity’ captures the heart of ourselves and of New Zealand.

The double twist represents the joining together of two people and two cultures for eternity, even though they experience highs and lows of life, they remain bonded by friendship and loyalty for life.
