read between the lines

The design for this LO was inspired by one I saw a while ago in SS. I thought the theme of lines in the journaling went well with the lines of PP. Used all my scraps from BG. The journaling block was created using a text box and then I scanned some FP pp and using the text box facility to add a picture used it as a background


The journaling reads:
I look at your face Dad and I can see the lines.
Lines of: age, wisdom, maturity, abuse, stress and worry.

After your victorious battle against cancer those lines have been etched deeper. However it was the cancer that has taught us all to read between the lines. For many years communication between us was strained. Most of the time we found it easier to walk away and ignore each other. There were times when we tried – the confession in London, the letter from the Falklands, the first visit of Maya in hospital and that horrific day I went with you to Derriford to face the specialists who had given us your prognosis. It was with guilt that I returned to Kuwait at the end of the summer, I was not able to be there for you, and yet the disease had already forced us to reach out to each other. I found myself counting my blessings and felt the anger and frustration of earlier times fade. Only after your battle though was I able to get my Dad back. Now I relish the time we have. I am grateful to the disease, now the only lines between us are telephone lines for our lengthy weekly chats.
