This LO was done for the ***Memories to Last ~~COF/Critique~~ Group*** Scraplift Challenge and also for our groups scrap a family member challenge. I was given L.J.H. from R.I. to scraplift. When I was looking through her gallery, I realised that I had just bought (the day before) the same paper that she had used for one of her LO's so I chose that one to do. I did a lo of my grandparents and I hid the journaling behind the picture since she did hot have any journaling in her lo. The journaling reads "Lonnie and Ella married at a young age. Not long after they were married, Lonnie went to work at Hewitt's Rock Quarry. They were blasting rock and he had taken shelter in a hollowed out tree. He said he sould hear rocks falling all around him and when he thought it was over he stepped out and his skull was crushed on the left side by a falling rock. He was in a coma. When he woke 33 dyas later he was a different person. Part of his brain was removed and an area of his left temple was missing. He was in and out of a mental hospital over his lifetime. When he was in his 60's, a doctor finally to the family that for Lonnie to he normal and no longer be mean and agressive, that he needed to do nothing, no work at all. For some reason after the initial surgery anytime that anytime he tried to work he bacame mean. Once they figured this out and got him the right medicine, he became a fun, happy person. That is how I remember him. I remember him always joking and being fun. He was missing part of three fingers on his right hand. He would tell me that he had wore them down to a nub playing the banjo. However, in actuality when he was little his sister told him to lay his hand down on a stump and she would cut his fingers off. He didn't think she would but she did. She was little too and couldn't stop the axe as it fell. Ella had five children that she loved dearly. She saw her daughter die from heart complications and her oldest son fight cancer. After Lonnie died she married Frank Shields and lived with him until he died."
Thanks for spreading positivity!
