That is some of THE best journaling I have ever had the pleasure to read. I am truly moved. So many of us could write the same thing, but haven't. What a beautiful layout~
just beautiful, love how you layered the circles and made a circle out of the photo. all the little elements are perfect and best of all that journaling and that photo are so touching! what a tribute to your mom.
I love this! I lost my mother in February and you are so right; we should cherish all of the moments we have with our loved ones. After they are gone is not the time for shouda, coulda and woulda.
Lovely journaling and LO. This brought tears to my eyes in rememberance of the little things I used to complain about doing with my mom that I now miss tremendously. TFS!!
Blessings,
Deb
Gorgeous lo & the journaling touched my heart! I know just how you feel - spend EVERY Sunday afternoon with my mom & an hour on the phone each night - sometimes it's a chore but I know I'm blessed to still have her & will be comforted when she's gone that I've followed this path. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing!!
My mouth dropped open on this LO. This is so very touching. The journaling is amazing. I am astounded how you made such an ordinary chore beautiful and special.

Journaling: It seems that i've always followed my mother. When I was young, I'd follow her in work, in prayer, in chores. As I grew older, I followed her in motherhood, falling into those familiar patterns I had sworn I never would. I heard my mohter's words coming out of my mouth. I learned what she had known for so long- that teaching your children never ends, it just changes. Now, I still follow her. The pace is a little slower, the steps not as sure, but she's still way ahead of me- in patience, in forgiveness, in love. I'm trying to learn the lessons as fast as I can, but I'm way behind.
I took this pic because grocery shopping with mom is a chore i have to do once a month, taking time out of my ?busy? life to do it. but i know that one day, i won't view it as a chore, that i will miss this time spent one on one with my mom and the lessons that she continues to teach me.
