You made me cry. sniff. My mom lost her battle with cancer and died at age 35 and left 7 children behind. I've already outlived her by 18 years. I was only 13 at the time. And one of my dearest friends for 30 years died a couple of years ago to pancreatic cancer. She went fast too. I need to scrap something about her. This is beautiful what you have done here, and sad too. I can sense your pain, in your words, and I feel for you. Treasure the memories and hug her grandchildren.
This is really beautiful! A wonderful tribute and so touching! This has inspired me to do something similar for my best friend who passed away too soon. Thank you for sharing!
omg kimm..thats beautiful..boy, do you ever have a way with words,my friend...kay would have loved barry, she'd have been so happy you found him..
i wish that trip could have been WITH her too. instead of because of her..
i don't think i have ever laughed and cried so much...it was the best and worst trip ever...good job on this kimm,(((hugs)))
It's fantastic! You did a great job - everything is perfect - the colors, the journalling, the emotion you put in this layout - she would love it - I'm sure!
This page has two inspirations..One is my very good friend Kay, she fought a hard 8 month battle with cancer, unfortunately she lost. the second inspiration is another scrapper on this sight named *Kristine*. Going through the galleries one day I saw a LO she had made for grandmother who had also battled cancer. It is a beautiful page and I knew I wanted to do something similar. I wanted to make sure she got credit for such a great idea.
Kay was one of my best friends...we were co-workers first, then friends, in the end she was family to me. This picture is the last one I have of her living. We all knew that things werent looking good so we took her out to lunch, she hardly ate a thing but she was there, smiling, laughing, just being Kay. The shorts that shes wearing are in my dresser drawer right now. I debated cutting them to use on the LO, but just couldnt do it. Kay left behind two children, her first grandchild was born 2 years after she died. She loved Elvis and always wanted to go to Graceland, she got to go right before she died but she was too weak to even enjoy it. I miss her so much, and treasure my memories of her.
Jounaling: Seen your children grow up
Been there to hold your first grandchild...
Gone with Christina, Nancy,Jilynda and myself on our road trip to California
Seen me tame my "wild" ways, and find the love of my life
Enjoyed Graceland more than you did,because it took so long for you to get there
Won your battle with cancer,you are missed, never forgotten, always remembered
