The Celebrity Artist
completes the 4th WINNING PORTRAIT, won by Lynette Leadon-Pierre of
Freeport who entered a photo of her baby and her mother in our recent
promotion from TheBahamasWeekly.com saying,
"Enclosed is a photograph of my mum
Sylvia
Bain with her first grandbaby Sarkozy. This is a photo she cherishes
with all her heart, and I hope one day he will as well. My mum was
beyond ecstatic about the news of her first grand baby and always
insisted that she will be called “Nana” because “grammy” was for ‘old
people.’ She looked forward to the joys of motherhood all over again and
helping raise the son God blessed her with. Shortly after he was born,
she became ill and gradually lost control of her lower extremities. It
was discovered that her cancer had returned, metastasizing to her spine
causing tumors to press against nerves leaving her paralyzed. Despite
the pain and emotional stress she endures, whenever she sees her
grandbaby he manages to make all that go away. He continues to be her
reason for being and her saving grace. This photograph was taken the day
of Sarkozy’s Christening which she refused to miss despite the pain and
discomfort. My mother has always been kind hearted and caring; daily
giving of herself to help others. As a dedicated educator for some 30+
years, she’s well deserving of such precious gift. "
Congratulations Lynette! The Celebrity Artist black and white sketch
drawing is valued at $1000.
Sorry folks, our
competition is now
