To you my tender love,
Every day I spend with you, you impress me a little more and my love for you grows.
Your calm in the face of adversity, your inner strength, and your resilience are simply remarkable. It's incredible to think that after your surgery, your first instinct was to make sure I was okay. Even in the midst of a storm, you still find a way to encourage me to rest and take care of myself, even though you're the one fighting a courageous battle.
You are an extraordinary father. Your presence for our little cat is invaluable, and I know that for our second, you will be just as involved. Your way of being such an attentive and loving father touches me deeply.
Despite everything you're going through, you continue to show us how important we are to you. I could never have dreamed of a better person to share my life with and to be the father of our children. Our little ones will be incredibly lucky to have such a caring dad, always there to listen to them, advise them, and protect them.
Your ability to remain calm, even in the face of the most intense flames in our lives, is what makes you unique. You always calmly bring the situation back to the essentials, and you teach us not to give in to panic. You are our rock, and this strength, this determination, is what makes you
this exceptional man whom I admire so much.
My love, I am incredibly lucky to share my life with such a devoted and caring man.
You are involved at every level, always taking your responsibilities as a parent to heart.
Even if summer takes you away from us because of your work, you make up for it by always being there for the moments that matter, every little gesture, every moment of everyday life.
Your love warms us, even from a distance.
You are a pillar for us, an unwavering force, even when you seem to waver. Just like on the front lines, you know how to protect and reassure us, even when you are wounded. Your heart and spirit remain invincible, and that is what makes you strong enough to overcome every challenge.
May this portrait remind you every day how important you are to us, how much we love you and how much you are
STRONG ENOUGH
to fight all the storms that cross your path.
I am so proud of you, proud of us, of the team we form for our family.
Together, I know we can weather every storm, hand in hand, with you as our guide.
Thank you for everything you do for us.
I love you more than words can say.

A personalized portrait ENOUGH: a meaningful gift to give to a loved one who is experiencing grief
The portrait of Antoine reunited with his father who suddenly died 1 month after the birth of his baby Victor

--- Touching message printed on the back of the portrait ---
Life is unfair.She was with me.
She stole my time, thousands of radiant smiles, warm hugs,
comforting hugs, tender kisses, knowing glances and
precious moments with you and my dear Victor.
But life has also given me enough time to teach you priceless values.
Antoine, know that even if you don't always feel my presence with you, I am present ENOUGH.
Present through these family values that I passed on to you and that you will know how to pass on to Victor.
Present through the inspiring stories you will tell him about his grandfather.
Present through Victor's radiant smiles and happy moments that will remind you of me. Present through the moving photos that immortalized our shared moments together.
My boy, raising Victor will not be easy.
In difficult times, remember that life is simple.
That in the end, you just have to look on the bright side and the solution will come.
I wish you to live a life as fulfilling as mine.
To enjoy the little moments of happiness every day.
To find resilience in the face of hardship. To see the bright side of life.
I deeply miss our complicity.
But I'm looking down on you from up there and I want you to know that I'm proud of the loving father you are.
You're already exceptional. I see all the immense love you send to Victor.
I know you will always be there for him, even in difficult times.
Give him all your love. All his grandpa's love.
I hope this portrait reminds you every day that I'm still here for you, my man.
I am close to you in thought and in your heart. I will continue to guide you throughout your life.
Be strong. I love you forever.

Gabrielle gave her sister a personalized portrait as a gift for her wedding in Guatemala.
Life is generous.
The perfect gift for a new mom at a shower or birth
This portrait was given to Marie-Pier.
A new mother who experienced a roller coaster of emotions during her pregnancy. Countless meetings with doctors and experts of all kinds.
In the end, little Simone was born healthy and cradled in love.
--- Touching message printed on the back of the portrait ---
When you get pregnant, you already imagine a lot of things.
We imagine the face our baby will have.
We imagine his first steps. The first time he eats.
We wonder if it will be a girl or a boy.
We have fun finding names.
We start the list of things to buy before his arrival.
We look at photos on Pinterest for decorating ideas.
We imagine baby in dad's arms.
We imagine dad changing his first poopy diaper.
We imagine everything. Except the worst.
Complications, health problems.
But sometimes, reality hits some parents. And then things go south.
The most beautiful thoughts are overturned by the worst-case scenarios.
We face reality. We question ourselves. We question the essentials.
We feel guilty. We feel betrayed by life.
Marie-Pier, despite the challenges you faced in these last months as a mother, you never stopped loving Simone. You never stopped giving her all your love for a single moment. You covered her with your most beautiful thoughts and your most tender caresses.
There is no doubt that you are up to the task in this new role that will now fill your days. Remind yourself every day that you don't have to be a perfect mom, but only a mom ENOUGH .
You have everything you need to face the challenges that will cross your path.

Personalized portrait ENOUGH: a gift for a golden educator
There's no greater gift than recognition for one's work. This educator was fortunate enough to guide Miko through the big milestone of high school.
For an atypical child, this transition can be a huge source of stress.
Isabelle gave her wings. Karine, Miko's mother, approached me to thank her and express her deep gratitude.
Here is the word printed on the back that accompanied the portrait.
--- Touching message printed on the back of the portrait ---
There are people we meet along the way who will stay in our lives forever.
People who leave a lasting mark on our hearts. People who help us become a better version of ourselves.
My Isabelle,
You are definitely one of those people in my life.
I went through a huge storm of emotions when I changed schools.
During the storms, you were my beacon. My landmark. My pillar.
You were able to put me at ease.
But most importantly, you have done ENOUGH to build my self-confidence.
My Isabelle,
You are more than an educator to me. You are someone I can count on.
A person who understands me. A person who guides my choices.
And now, a precious friend to my family and me.
What I like most is talking to you.
You are patience, listening, gentleness and devotion incarnate.
Thanks to you, I can now SUFFICIENTLY express my ideas and needs.
I have ENOUGH tools to skate, charge ahead and overcome all the challenges that cross my path, which we thought were insurmountable.
Thanks to you, I know that nothing is impossible.
Isabelle, you are dedicated enough as an educator and you have succeeded in giving me wings. Thank you so much for believing in me.
I have everything in my backpack to fly off to high school and shine with confidence.
With all my friendship,
Miko

Personalized portrait SUFFICIENTLY offered as a gift to show support during illness
You've been climbing Everest together for a few months.
The greatest test of your life.
Denis, strangely enough, you have incredible luck.
The luck of having the most caring partner by your side. To have love and resilience in your backpack.
Chantal, you are the most generous woman I know. Generous with yourself, your time, and your dedication to your community.
You've been involved in the past by volunteering for several organizations. You celebrate all the birthdays and births of our family members.
You show your gratitude to those around you every day. You organize all the family corn roasts. Now it's your turn to grant one last wish for your Denis.
Denis, I hope you enjoy the sun's rays for a long time, drinking your coffee surrounded by your plants.
Thank you so much for all the trips to our house with those 50-cent crates of juicy strawberries. I miss you.
I hope this portrait will remind you every day that you are
Strong Enough
to weather all these storms together. To climb your Everest.
You have cherished many years together.
You are lucky to be wrinkled ENOUGH to witness all these moments of happiness shared every day.
Continue to be so resilient every day.

Portrait with SUFFICIENT features offered to a grandmother to show her deep gratitude for her involvement in the lives of her children
For a child, a grandmother is someone absolutely wonderful.
He is a member of the family with whom he can share moments
very unique.
Going to Grandma's is about stepping out of your usual routine and exploring the world in a different way. It's about taking ENOUGH time to learn, to admire life's little wonders, and to be yourself.
For a child, going to Grandma's is synonymous with a holiday. It's a wonderful time where they can venture out and discover new things at every turn.
It's a time to stop and build valuable connections and create lasting memories.
Mamie Coco, you were so there for your grandchildren when you were in Le Havre with us.
We miss your little daily gestures. We appreciate them enormously. We miss your big, concrete heart.
Despite the hours of driving that separate us, you remain a devoted grandmother.
Hope this portrait reminds you every day that you are
ENOUGH Granny
for Charli, Rosie, Eloi, Lexie, Léa, Rosa and Océane. A grandmother who looooves being surrounded by her favorite mini humans. A grandmother who is a model of perseverance and determination for both her children and her grandchildren.
Thank you for being so great to all of us.
We love you xxxx

Jenny's story really touched me. Talking to her, I saw the great resilience of this young mother.
Works ENOUGH to ease the grief of a loved one
A mother is a reassuring refuge. A mother sacrifices herself for our happiness.
A mother does her best every day to ensure we lack nothing.
Annie, your mom was much more than a mother.
She was your best friend, your pillar, the one with whom you shared every moment of happiness.
Our hearts are certainly sad that she is no longer here to share our babies' successes, to watch the children grow, to celebrate every step, every word spoken, as an extraordinary victory.
May she no longer be there to remind us that we must marvel at the magic of life.
Even though she is no longer here, she is still present enough through the memories that warm our hearts. Playing cards or dice with her was like experiencing those moments of joy twice over, because every surprise, every moment was a source of pure happiness. Her ability to marvel at everything made each moment extraordinary. Her laughter still resonates, as it did when she snuggled up with us in the family bed, young and old together, to share simple but precious moments.
All we wanted was to make her proud, and when she was, she said it with such heart and pride.
Although she left too soon, you found within yourself the strength to get through this grief.
After these seven years, you have found enough peace to re-embrace life, to rediscover the taste of happiness.
Today, you are strong enough to carry the love you shared and to perpetuate these memories.
By carrying this memory, you too continue to be a sufficiently loving and caring mother.
The values she passed on to you, the unconditional love she gave you, you offer them in turn, as best you can to those around you, don't forget that. May this portrait remind you every day how much we love you, that you are
ENOUGH mother in turn for each of your children.
Grandma is with you in every moment you live.
Her wings envelop you and protect you. Every time the sea wind blows on your cheeks, it brings you back to her and you whisper to her: "Go tell my mother how much I love her, and how beautiful she is."
She watches over her baby from up above. She lives through you, in this loving ENOUGH mother that you have become.
Your nieces Vanessa & Joanie, and your sister Josée, who love you more than words can express.

I gave this gift to my brother, the godfather of my daughter Florence
When I think back to us, to our childhood, to our adolescence,
I only have good memories of all the times I spent with you.
Not only are these memories precious, but they are positive and filled with a lot of love.
Dominic, Domchoubi,
Tears are already streaming down my cheeks as I write these first lines.
Life goes by so fast.
One thing is certain, when we're old, we'll have plenty of memories to remember together. Whether it's wasting our 25 cents calling Mom and Dad as they arrive in the schoolyard just as the phone has just swallowed our money, stealing licorice from Grandma's binder, playing hide and seek in the hay bales, skinning squirrels, making hay while properly skinning our forearms, running around doing the dishes because Mom is coming to the Carbonneau coast, putting on plays together, building your raft for the little pond, listening to the Quillabamba radio hasta las cinco de la mañana, acting crazy in Colombia because of the raging cows... there will be plenty of memories to bring a smile to our faces.
It makes me very happy to have you in my life, even if sometimes I feel guilty about not getting enough news from you. About not spending enough time with you. About not sharing ENOUGH with my Floflo and my Lili your presence, your energy, your great sensitivity.
What I wish for us most in the years to come is to create these same memories, filled with love and laughter, but this time with my daughters, you, and your children. Without AI, without robots.
Just us, family and friends.
I wish us many more years of crazy fun talking about everything and nothing, cuddling, helping each other, messing around, discouraging Joey with our word-per-minute flow, making fun of Mom, imitating Dad, trying to change the rules in board games to annoy Cindy.
I hope that this portrait reminds you every day how much I love you, how much you mean more than anything to me, how proud I am of you, that you follow your dreams. How much you inspire me every day, that I admire you, but that it reminds you more than anything how much you are
Unique enough.
There are no two like you.
Our door is always wide open in Quebec City. Come see us whenever you want to enjoy it ENOUGH.
Your little sister who loves you more than words can express.
You don't choose your parents, your in-laws, or even your grandparents.
But one thing is certain: even if we had the opportunity to choose, we could never have dreamed of finding people with such a big heart and such a capacity to fill all these roles with such love.
and kindness than you.
I can't find the words to express how lucky I feel to have you in my life. You give me a life full of love, projects, and simple family moments. A life filled with ENOUGH happiness and support. You've always put our happiness, Marco's and my happiness, first, and now you're doing the same with my little family.
There's a reason we spend so much time together.
Every moment with you is precious and perfect in its own way. Whether it's cooking together, enjoying your little corner of paradise at Betchouanes, going for a walk side by side, sharing a good meal, chatting around the islet or going on a boat trip, these moments, however simple they may be, become family memories that I will always cherish. Seeing Éloi's eyes light up every time he sees you fills my heart as a mother and
fills me with happiness.
You have this gift of making sure everyone is comfortable, of putting your own needs second, and of finding your own happiness in ours. You are happy when we are. And for that, we are deeply grateful. As parents and now grandparents, you are providing Éloi with an education based on simple, essential family values. With you, he will learn to appreciate the little things in life, to be independent, resilient, and to believe ENOUGH in himself to achieve his biggest dreams.
With you by his side, he will know that anything is possible.
Every moment you spend with him, no matter how brief, helps forge a unique bond.
He will always find in you guidance, a listening ear and valuable advice throughout his life.
We hope this portrait will remind you every day how much you mean to us. How much we love you and how grateful we are for everything you do for us.
Thank you for being a part of our lives. Thank you for being amazing ENOUGH as parents, stepparents, and grandparents. Thank you for being exceptional ENOUGH.
We are incredibly lucky to have such a close-knit family, and it's largely thanks to you.
Let's continue to write our family's story together, a story that is SUFFICIENTLY happy and fulfilling.
Judyane, Tommy and Éloi who love you so much xxxx

Personalized portrait with SUFFICIENT features offered to a mother
Personalized portrait ENOUGH, the perfect gift to frame a love story and give it as a wedding anniversary gift

Two hearts choosing each other, uniting, there's something magical about it when you think about it.
There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. What are the chances of finding the one we like? The one with whom we believe we can start a family and be happy?
The chances are slim. And you've hit the lottery.
Isabelle, you've found your Prince Charming. The one who completes you perfectly. The one who accepts you as you are, a perfectionist and demanding at times, but also loving, caring, and generous. The one who supports you in your projects. The one who realizes your ideas. The one who helps you embrace the imperfect, to be the best version of yourself for Sofia. The one with whom you have to compromise.
The one who loves you deeply.
Tommy, you've found your princess. The one you can spoil. The one you love. The one you share your daily life with. The one who pushes your buttons on occasion, but the one who helps you more than anything to be the best dad for Sofia. The one who loves you deeply.
Together, you form a whole. You balance each other out. You introduce Sofia to the world. You marvel at her, watching the stars in her eyes as you show her the little joys that surround her.
Friends, you make a great team. I wish you decades more of loving each other, making compromises, accepting that everything won't be perfect, trusting each other, growing together, but also each on your own, to better find yourselves.
Hopefully this portrait will remind you every day how much you are
ENOUGH in love
and that you can weather any storm that comes your way. Look deep into your heart in the moments that seem most difficult to find the love it will take to move forward together hand in hand. You are exceptional parents to Sofia, every day. Never forget that.
Thank you for being a part of our lives. You undoubtedly hold a very special place in our hearts.

A gift to offer to your godfather and godmother to show your gratitude
I have many memories of my birthday and Christmas.
Where you give me a gift, a greeting card.
It might seem trivial or even routine to you to celebrate my birthdays or Christmas, but for me, it meant the world to me. Knowing that each year, you took the time to mark these important moments.
To write me these few words in a card. Cards that I still treasure today. To give me money so that I can buy myself a little something that I like.
I have many memories with you. Memories of discovering the knick-knacks in the bathroom and the colorful rugs by the toilet. Of playing downstairs with Dominic and Cindy. I remember your Tupperware well, Lisette. The ones you used to take the time to cook with me. The ones you used to present your desserts to us at the table after eating. Desserts we eagerly awaited. Desserts made with a lot of love. Sometimes especially for your visit. But mostly, for your André. To show him all the love you have for him.
I am convinced that in every dessert you cook for her, you are telling her 'I love you' in your own way.
This sincere love that you share for each other is felt SUFFICIENTLY in your looks,
in your sweet kisses that you exchange.
Lisette and André,
You are an extraordinary model of a couple that we can look up to and draw inspiration from as adults.
A model couple who helps each other. Who persists. Who works hard. Who loves each other deeply.
A model of a couple who lives ENOUGH together, through projects, travels, meetings, challenges, celebrations.
I hope this portrait will remind you every day that since the day you cradled me, when you said yes to becoming my godfather and godmother, you have fulfilled your role SUFFICIENTLY.
That of having been SUFFICIENTLY present, SUFFICIENTLY loving, and above all,
ENOUGH inspiring.
Thank you for being a part of my life. Even though we are far apart, you remain FULL enough in my thoughts, in the memories I cherish, in the love I carry for you in my heart.
I love you very much.
Your goddaughter is very grateful for everything you have given her and the moments spent by your side.
