I didn’t see anything at first, but after reading what others saw.
I can see it now.

I'm sure I'll catch some kind of flak here, but all i see is one of the dwarves from the cartoons wearing a cowl.

Sorry to hear of your loss; I hadn't read anything but the OP
May God Comfort you and Your Family
And grant you the Peace in the face of this adversity.
Tell your son; I thought the OP was one of those Psych questions at first; and I was being honest by saying what I saw.
God Bless You

I don't see anything in the photo but I'm very sorry for your loss. My Father died of cancer so I know how difficult it can be.

Thanks to those of you with the nice things you've said.

That is so funny yhwhshalomjr. My family is going to crack up when I tell them about the sponge bob comment. I know my dad would also be laughing at that one, because as soon as I looked at the picture again, I see what you mean! Could he be trying to upstage the Madonna! Thank you for your nice words too.

Even if we take your word for it that the sweatpants weren't set up to look like a human, I would just point out how many times the random patterns of clouds look like definable objects. If you throw the same garment on a counch an unlimited number of times, how many times do you have to repeat it before you think it looks like something significant?
