How amazing... love the Zipper club!! I'm glad all three are dedicated to life and enjoy their walk together every day!! they look like they are the best of friends.. Love this wonderful page Jen, it's so touching..
What a great lo! My dad had his first bypass at 59 and another 10 years later - he was crazy for walking too, and used to walk miles with his dog. He died last month, and I miss him so much, but he used to laugh about his heart surgery, and tell us that as he had a pacemaker, his heart would carry on 'bumping' when everything else had stopped, even if he got run over! I totally agree - modern medicine is the tops! This is a great celebration page.
Ok - I am a cardiology nurse, so that makes me LOVE your layout so much!!! I think that everything about it is wonderful - I love your photos especially and your added touch of a real zipper and the stitches on the heart! I wholeheartedly agree with Karin, and the fact that they get together every morning for a walk is VERY inspirational!
This is fabulous, Jen! The details and photos are just wonderful! I love the message and you are so right...we never know what life has in store for us and our lives can change in a second! This LO should be used in a hopital as an inspiration to those facing similar surgery!
My DH and 2 friends have all had open heart surgery & they walk each morning. Journaling reads "What's The Zipper Club? The Zipper Club are those who have had open heart surgery - they crack the chest & you end up with a long incision on your chest. These 3 friends all had bypass surgery and walk 30 minutes EVERY day. I admire their dedication and thank God everyday for the miracle of modern medicine!!" I knew I had to use a real zipper on this LO!! I cut a slit in the paper so the tag could be pulled out.I added the tree to remind me of the park they walk thru & the hearts for the surgery (& friendship)!!Used a pen to add stitches on letters and heart to represent the surgery. I added the rub on "life's journey" because none of us know where life will take us. TFL!! jen
