This is a beautiful tribute to your father. I am sorry you had to make it, and I'm sorry to hear you cried after making it, but it is lovely. Seems like his great attitude was passed on to you! God bless you and your family :)
This is beautiful! Did you find it to be kind of therapeutic? I know the page I did on my dad was for me! I still may do another, one that's more "serious" and in-depth. Wonderful job on this!
Wow. This is such a touching lo. You did a beautiful job on the journaling. You are a real inspiration for the rest of us. It must have been difficult to pour out your heart like that. Thank you so much for sharing.
OMG Tara your journaling made me cry it was so touching! That is so awesome that you could do this LO about him. I love all your flowers and I think you did a wonderful job on this.

This layout is incredible. I love the tropical paper and the way you cut out some flowers. The photo is still the focal point. Your journaling is so much from the heart and it is so special. What a great page!
Tara this is the most heartfelt journaling I have read in a long time..I know how hard these can be. Great photo of your dad too..Perfect song choice for your challenge.
Lyrics Challenge - Elton John "Return to Paradise" I am so happy with this LO...didn't take me long and i didn't put a whole lot into it, but i loved the photo (his cigar hanging out of his mouth makes me smile) and wanted it to be the center of attention....i did this LO of my dad who passed away at age 53..6 years ago. i have never designed a LO, then sat and started crying over it!...This was a true inspirational LO! Thanks for the looking and letting me share. Journaling reads: I know he’s in a better place, I remind myself Of that often. . . This is a photo of my dad on a fishing trip With his buddies. This photo is one of my favorites of him Because it shows his true personality! Dad went through So much in his life with his health and yet, he always Exhibited a strong, confident, positive, Christian example for me To look up to. Even when his health took a turn for the worse He never showed weakness in front of his family and was Always there for us! At an early age his kidneys failed, He underwent 2 different transplants, He had a quadruple bypass on his heart and also had a tracheotomy! These are just a few and yet through it all, he never gave Up his Faith in God to lead him through it all and ultimately Take him to a better place, with no more suffering. I know He is looking down on us today and is proud of his family. I wish we had more time together, but I am blessed to have him As my father as long as I did. Little things still and always will Remind me of him, things I will forever cherish. He is now In paradise…. . . No fears, no tears and no pain.
under photo..."it's paradise here where the sun meets the sea, there's nothing to fear and so much to be. .. . .. - Elton John Lyrics
