This pic isnt clear because it was taken with my phone, which at the time was only thing i had handy and i am VERY VERY happy i was able to catch it... it was 5 mins before he passed on when i was telling him how i would always love him and he did his job.

I hope you can all make out the lil Smile he made for me...
That lil smile makes me cry and happy at same time if you can feel what i say?

Again sorry its so dark... anyone know of a program i can use to lighten it up?

3Blackchows, thanks for idea to email from phone.. it worked.

Perhaps others with more skill can help with this picture. I took a copy and lightened in Glowfoto. Yes, I can see how it can make you cry and happy at the same time.

That's so beautiful...

I'm so glad that you will always have this picture of him, it's beautiful, wonderful and heart-breakingly sad all at the same time.

Warmest wishes to you

Great job Arnis!! Oh wow... thank you so much for sharing.
Kahn has a beautiful smile & what a handsome man.
He is the first chow I've ever seen smile

I know what you mean when you say you feel happy & sad at the same time. What an awesome feeling.
What a wonderful gift Kahn left for you, and the image is
priceless.

I agree, it's a great picture and so sad to look at though.

PS--Make sure you save it to a CD or something other than just your harddrive in case you ever have a computer crash or something like that. You don't want to loose it.

So beautiful. I agree with willow that you should save it to a CD just in case.

When you are ready, you might be able to take it to a photo store. With a little touch here and there, you might be able to print that beautiful picture. As bittersweet as it is, you will always have Kahn smiling upon you.

Thanks for sharing that picture of your sweet boy. God bless you and give you peace. He was truly loved, there is no doubt, and love goes on forever.

Thank you so much for sharing such a personal photo. What a gorgeous smile!

I use a few photo softwares for editing pics: Hp imagezone, Photo explosion Deluxe, and Adobe Photoshop. All of them are great and each has really unique features that allow you to do just about anything. Image Zone is fairly basic (you can get a verison of it with an hp ink cartridge), Photo Explosion is my favorite one. Photoshop is also wonderful, though fairly pricey.

Taking the pic to a photo store is great idea, they'd probably do the best job touching up the photo. Thanks again for sharing!

He sure was a beauty!
He knew it was time but held on just a little more because he wanted you to have this image etched in your heart forever.

I have to tell you at least you had the chance to tell him how much he means to you and you love him, and his smile is telling you that he loves you too! I'm sorry for your loss!

I didn't have a ton of time to work with your picture but I tryed lightening and then smugging to smooth it and then tryed with the painted efect which I really liked. Will try to work with it more when I get a chance. Big hugs goin out to you!

Yes, and deeply.

...and smiling in love's presence, releases euphoric endorphins.

Wishing you a peaceful heart.

Kahn's person,
I completely understand

Kiwani,
Your words especially touched and reached me as I'm sure they did others.
