This is a layout I made for my dh of his mom, my mil. She passed away 10 years ago from cancer at 56.
The journaling says:
If we had one more day with you we would:
- Introduce you to your granddaughter. You'd fall instantly in love with her and she'd adore you
- Tell you how much we miss you and how much we love you
- Spend the afternoon relaxing and chatting on our double-tiered deck (her dream was to have a deck)
- Make Sheppard's Pie for dinner for Dean, your way
- In th evening, we'd watch movies, drink pepsi and eat chocolate bars
- tell you we were sorry for not spending more time with you.
The poem is:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
When I was creating this layout, I needed to find her birthdate so I went through a box of stuff from her and my dh found a letter she wrote to him. It was dated Feb 1998 (6 mths before she passed). It was beautiful and talked about how proud she was of him (and us) and full of praise. I never understood the meaning of it really until last night ... she knew she had cancer and didn't tell her kids b/c she didn't want to upset them. She wrote the letter knowing she was dying and it was her way of letting her know how proud she was of him. I wanted to include it on the lo but it was too big ...
Oh and we found out that the bottom pic of his mom in the lo was in 1971 and she was pregnant with my dh so it makes this lo even more special.
I was inspired by this lo b/c I saw one that had the same title on another site and knew I had to scrap this for my mil.
p.s. the journaling etc is not crooked, it's just the lo from when I took the pic
Thanks for spreading positivity!
