ADD

For the Use Your Supplies Week #4: Journaling challenge. Also posting as a late share for last month's "pink" entry on Very Laid Back. (EDIT: Just realized this can also count for the VLB Week #1 Challenge: Die Cuts. So I'm using it for that rather than the "pink" category.) :)

My DD was recently diagnosed with ADD at the age of 20. She has, for years, had trouble focusing on schoolwork or sticking to a task. But she developed some great coping skills that got her through until she went from a part-time to a full-time college student this fall. Then it became a problem. A conversation with a nurse friend of mine (who also knows DD) who has foster kids with ADD made the pieces all fall into place. We got an official diagnosis, and DD is now on meds that are working miracles for her.

The journaling reads: If there is one thing in my life that I feel like I've done well, it's being a mom. Yet this is the one time when I feel I failed you because I didn't pursue this sooner. I didn't even begin to understand until you described it as having 8 conversations with yourself. I hope now we can find you some peace. I'm sorry.

Letters cut with the Slice (Noteworthy), as are the girl figures (Just Chillin' Teen). The eight figures represent the eight conversations she mentioned, with the lines (thread) going between them like telephone lines. The photo is matted on black cs. Border is a sunburst punch I got early on in my scrapbooking (don't remember where) and the corners have a bit of Stickles (cotton candy) added.
