This is beautiful and touching! I lost my brother as well and am finally ready to do a tribute lo to him but couldn't get motivated and was intimidated...wondering what to journal, what colors to use, etc. Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing such a personal page with us! You inspire me :-)
I love this LO Soooooooo much. Do you mind if I scraplift the basic idea of it. My brother died in 2000. He would be turning 14 this Dec. I miss him so much.
This is really a beautiful tribute to your brother. I would like to do something similar for my dad, but have been afraid to start because I want to make sure I do him justice... you've inspired me to give it a shot. TFSing
How beautiful, you did such a wonderful job with your journaling and a terrific job with the layout itself. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
This is my favorite page of all that I've done. The journaling reads: "I haven't seen you in seventeen years now. You would have just celebrated your 35th birthday. I have lived more than half my life now with out you brother, but not without what I learned from you. Creativity: I remember colored pencils and piles of paper on the table as we drew picture after picture. I could barely write my name but you let me color with you anyways. Uniqueness: I remember your loud punk rock music in the 80's, your shaggy hair dyed blue, and your skateboards. You weren't afraid to be different. I thought you were the coolest person I knew. Courage: I remember the syringes as you injected yourself with insulin everyday because diabetes was your constant companion. You gave me one to use as a water gun. Love: I feel like I hardly knew you,I never really got the chance. I can only rememeber moments of the summers and holidays we spent together. Yet, I still have so much love in my heart for you.
Time will continue passing by, but I will never forget."
