Cheers

Lis, I lost my dad in 2022, so I know how hard it can be for those left behind. Love your precious journaling and how the elements of this layout work together so well to make a beautiful page.

So Lovely

My mom on a great day, enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.

The hidden journaling is on the tag, which is tucked into a pocket on the back side of the LO. The octagons are hand-cut and decorated with a little doodling.

The journaling reads:
Every so often, my heart just aches for my mom. I know how hard it is for to not only adjust to being alone - but also the challenges of memory loss and confusion. Shes still feisty, still fighting her aging body and mind. And it makes me cry for our lost days. Im always overjoyed when I get a glimpse of her old self - her smile, her humor, her laughter. I know, one day, these may disappear so I need to appreciate every minute with her.
