Now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. Paul of Tarsus
My mother Krista Kukolja died in February this year. My father Pavao Kukolja died in October 2017. I returned back to Croatia in June this year and visited the place of their burial. The feeling of being there was a different one than in the days of their departure and funerals. The fact that some months have passed made the awareness of their absence lass surreal and more real. At the time of my last visit to their grave (in June) I recorded the following reflection, which I have recently enhanced with some photos. I would like to share this latest video feature with my friends as an act of thanksgiving for the gift of their lives.
