The best kinds of gifts are those that come from the heart, something that is certainly true of this birthday present. On January 7, 2022, a woman named Jen and her husband lost their daughter, Elizabeth. She was only 27. As you can imagine, this was devastating. After losing their daughter to Lupus, Jen’s friend discovered the perfect gift for the couple: a hand-drawn portrait.
This friend was scrolling through Instagram when they came across an account called Paint Your Life. Folks submit photos and, using them as inspiration, they can draw a brand new portrait with everyone in it.
As you can imagine, this is an amazing gift for those who have loved ones that have passed. This can be seen in how the couple reacts to opening their gift, something that was caught on camera.
