For September's Scraplift the Person Before You. I lifted the wonderful LO by MadMatter called "Cosette", which you can find here: http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=344143#comments

I have been working on a memorial album of my husband, who died in 2009. I just add a page when the urge hits me. It's great therapy. Anyway, this is a pic of my wonderful BIL. He got a memorial tattoo in honor of my husband. Journaling says: Grief is such a selfish thing. Your own pain is so great and so overpowering, that it’s easy to forget that others are suffering, as well. When Rick died, Squid was so selfless. He pushed his own grief away to be there for me and help me cope with mine. Then Christmas of 2010 rolled around and I got a reminder that I am not the only one who misses Rick. I am not the only one who still grieves his loss deep in my heart. Squid revealed his memorial tattoo, which showcases Rick’s helmet and badge, as well as his dog tags. It’s not completed yet; he’s going back for coloring and more shading, but it’s still powerful. It’s a visual testimony to the power of love and loss, and a reminder that I no one is alone in this battle. 9/4/2011
