I drew this because for al of the people who have lost someone recently, and how hard it is to go on. I asked people what they though of when they thought of hope and added some of that. The bird is soaring towards a hopeful future. The knife is for when you have too keep fighting and need the extra strength. The roses are for the love and memory of those we've lost. So, I hope anyone who has lost a loved one can connect with this piece.
