A new day has come

This is a layout I made for the Celine Dion challenge. I wrote the words of the song on the flower on the top left side, and added my journaling to tags and attached them to the back of the layout in a pocket.

The journaling reads:
The summer of 2002 was a changing point in my life. After being married to the love of my life for three years, I had such a strong desire for our own family. I desperately wanted a baby. Don was unsure that he wanted children, and in my naivety of new romance and love I thought that okay. Then three years later the desire for a child of my own was so strong. It threw me into a depression. Watching new mothers with their children tore at my heart. Each month that passed as it does for a woman caused more and more grief. A pivital point in my depression was when Don and I attended a wedding of a childhood friend of mine. I had the oppertunity to see friends that I had lost contact with in the last few years. All of them had become mothers. A few had already had two children or where currently pregnant. Watching those children of my dear friends was too much. I had become that person! That person who was bitter and couldn't be around those pregnant or with a newborn, it just reminded me of my ultimate desire unfullfilled. I didn't even make it to the reception. I was an emotional basket case as they say. Don did reconsider his stand on children that day, and the Lord blessed us with a healthy pregnancy and birth of our son the following summer. This song was a tribute to how I felt. A new day is what the Lord has given me with my precious boy, and for that I am forever grateful.l
