A few years back my son, who is autistic and had very limited language skills, was very ill and hospitalized and during a time of sedation he woke and spoke to me of his aunt, my SIL who had passed away a few months prior. I know that she was watching over him. I was retelling this experience recently and realized I should really scrap this. This page was difficult for me to do. I was very close to my SIL. I miss her greatly. I could have gone in to greater depth in the journaling, but it would have brought me to tears every time I saw the page. So instead, I tucked some private journaling on the tag that is hidden away - see the ribbon in the upper right corner?

I had to do this page in purple and green. Purple is Cheryl's favorite color and green is Kevin's. There is some symbolism in the way that the papers are layered and join. And where they come together there are flowers, to represent the love and beauty of both of their spirits and hearts. The circles represent the circle of life and the continuity of our bond to each other. The one little strip of paper that crosses the big circle is the path of hope that we will meet again.

This page may not look like much, and I may not have the artistic talent, but this page means a great deal to me. I appreciate you stopping by to look at it. And I hope you come away with a deeper belief in the human spirit. TFL!

** The pics are not from the time when this happened. I could not find pictures of them together. By the time DS was born, SIL was ill and didn't let us take her picture. So the pic of her is one that I have that reflects her beauty, and the pic of DS is from about 2 years prior to this encounter, but I thought it reflects his innocence.
