Description:I don't know why I felt compelled to scrap this...perhaps because it has weighed so heavily on my mind...but I wanted to do this for my girls...
We lived in the pink house then. Mommy
had just quit her job and we had just
moved out of the “bad” house that had
made us so sick. Things were difficult.
Mommy tried to keep it all together, but all of the pain, the sorrow, the heart ache finally crashed around me. I never want either of you to look back at those times and feel like I didn’t love you.
Lord knows you and daddy were the only
thing that kept me going, kept me sane.
I know I was always sad. I know you
probably thought I was angry at you. But I wasn’t. It took mommy a while to heal. I look back at those days and it breaks my heart. What you two and daddy must have felt during those times. I was unreachable.
Now all that I can do is say that I’m sorry. Please know that through all of it my heart never left you. You are my strength, my love, my reason. You were then and you are now.
It just took mommy a while to break through.
Products Used:SEI Granny's Kitchen, Bazzill; MM Metal Plaque, Epoxy Alphas
Such a beautiful layout and confession. I think that we get so caught up in doing pretty layouts of our kids that we forget that journalling can be just as important as preserving photos.
What a beautiful inspiration to scrap this for them...it's so hard to explain what you went through in words, but you handled it like a pro. TFS!!
