Description:This is the 2nd page of the 2 page LO.The 1st photo is of Sara and our little neighbor(her 1st boyfriend),Frankie,when we lived in California.She was 5 at the time and SOOO "in love"!The next photo was taken in Florida when she was 7. Next, she was "surfing" on the beach in Hilton Head. She was 15 here,and just beginning to sprout her wings! The one on the end is where she was lying across her bed looking at a necklace a friend had given her. She is 17 in this one. The main photo on the page is my favorite of all her baby pictures. I had prayed for so long for a little girl, and I can remember that I was thanking God for this beautiful blessing as this photo was taken. What an angel I had in my arms.
If I could,I'd find the love you long for, the love of your life...but then you'd never know the journey it takes to find it.
If I could,I'd make all your days sunny...but,then you'd never know the cleansing of the rain.
If I could,I'd put happiness within your reach...but then you'd never know that the real quest only comes from reaching for things beyond your grasp.
If I could,I'd surround you with the treasures of the world you live in...but,then you'd never know how to appreciate the value of the treasures within you.
If I could,and I will...I'll love you throughout life and eternity.

these two pages are amazing! i've just covered with the chills here!!! what an amazing tribute!! and the brackets add just enough "funk" to the whole thing!!! I love it!!!
Great concept, and a beautiful Lo to bring it to life. Part of what makes the journaling so great is how it ties each picture to the underlying theme. Just awesome!
