Wow, I am glad you did this. I hope it helped you some. Not sure what the issues are but I didn't speak to my dad for about 3 years because he became someone else. He passed in Jan 05. I hope whatever issues you have with your father can be worked out. Not a day goes by that my heart does not ache for being so stubourn. It's not worth it honey. ((hugs)) take care....

This is a layout I almost didn't do, but I felt better once I got it out of my head. It is about what weighs on my heart every moment of everyday-the estragement from my dad. I cut out the heart and cut it in half so it would be broken the loosly stiched it back together with embroidery thread. I inked behind the heart red. and the corners that are folded up don't lay flat, I would upload a detail pic but with every one uploading right now for the contest, I will get off of here to make it easier. you can't really tell by the photo but the red matting behind the photo, is cardboard that i distressed with scissors and brushe don a lil paint and then a lot of walnut ink. The hidden journaling reads: I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET IT GET THIS FAR OUT OF HAND. HAS IT REALLY BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE I'VE HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD? WHY CAN'T HE REALIZE WHAT IS WRONG? WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I BANG MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL EVERYTIME I SPEAK TO HIM? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? WHY IS HE LIKE THIS? THIS ESTRANGEMENT IS WEARING ON MY HEART..EVERYTIME I TRY TO PICK UP THE PIECES & MOVE ON FROM THIS & TRY TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP AGAIN-MY FEELINGS ARE THE SAME & SO IS HIS ATTITUDE. AND THE MORE I HAVE TRIED TO TALK IT OUT THE WORSE IT GETS, AND YET I WISH IT WERE DIFFERENT-NO IWISH HE WAS DIFFERENT, LIKE HE USED TO BE. I MOURN MY FATHER & HE IS STILL ALIVE. I JUST CAN'T FEEL LIKE THIS ANYMORE..BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I CAN ONLY CONTROL ME-NOT HIM. HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN CHANGE HIM-SO, HERE I GO AGAIN...THE PAIN IS WORTH THE OUTCOME-I HOPE
