Even though you had a difficult time with this one, it turned out wonderfully. Love the story and your die cuts. Love the vintage picture too. That story reminded me of my sweet mother-in-law when she was a child growing up. She was born in 1911 and she, her siblings and parents left Virginia in a covered wagon to come out west. She was 9 years old when her mother died of ptomaine poisoning in Idaho. She was the eldest of her siblings and had to cook and care for them. Her dad found work but the state came and took her siblings away because there wasn't an adult to stay with them. I believe she never saw her baby sister again but some years later was reunited with her brother and another sister. She had a hard life but was the kindest person I ever had the privilege of knowing for my entire life until she died at the age of 95 in 2006.
Very cool layout. I need to buy some of those spellbinder dies. But trying to watch my money for right now. But still very cool sad about your ancestors wife dying. I had something like that happen in my family. My great-grandmother died at age of 34 a month after the birth of her finally baby. My great-grandfather was at a loss when she died. After not only losing his wife but two of his 8 children. He did end up marrying again a year after his wife and youngest son death. But his 6 children he still had to raise didn't like their new step-mother. The new wife didn't care very much to be a step-mother to her husband late wife children. He went on to have two more children with his second wife. But after a few years of marriage he still loved his late wife. One day after getting his teeth pulled his accidental called his second wife by his first wife name. His second wife didn't like being compared to his died wife. The marriage started to go sour after that. He decided he wanted a divorce from her. They agreed to the divorce and it been said he was happy about the divorce. When he died he was laid next to my great-grandmother who was his first wife.
This is my GGF, my maternal grand-father's father. I think he had a hard time after my GGM passed away from pneumonia in 1920. The family, children all got split up in different directions. He was a farmer but then worked as a mason and on building Joe Wheeler Dam on the Tennessee River. Later he was a cook in a restaurant. He moved to Dade County Florida near his oldest son. He had a WPA job when he passed in 1937 as a night watchman.
I had the hardest time doing this LO. I cut the lamp post four times, the tag twice. Finally!
