sorry to hear of your breakup... those are NEVER easy to go through. I am glad that the poem helped you. May the Lord give You His peace and comfort and strength to get You thru this, in Jesus' Mighty Name, AMEN.
Thanks... that was such a beautiful picture... i couldn't just leave it forgotten in some dark drawer somewhere. At least the breakup wasn't very ugly, if I ran into Amy today I would give her a great big HUG and say "how ya been?"
Thank You Scrapmama1. The first comment that I received on this LO was "why would you scrap about happiness that did not last?? I think it's weird, but maybe that's just me :o)"... which made me think, maybe I should not have posted it... but comments like yours made up for the doubts. I am touched that it gave You some inspiration! After all, our past experiences are part of who we are today. Praise God for learning experiences!
Hi Jahlesia, to answer Your question, no it wasn't really that hard to do. I wanted to do something with that photo, but didn't want to put anything in a bad light. When I came across it, the thought struck me, who would have thought that this would ever end? But, things happen and it didn't work out. I tend to remember the good times in life. Those few years that those two had together went by like a flash. I just wish that I would have reached out to her more back then... I really did like her. Anyway, it was a special time of his life and I just couldn't leave this image stuck in the darkness of a drawer. They really WERE happy at this time of their lives!
Very beautiful, and hard to scrap I'm sure. I got married at 18yrs. the first time, and I have not done anything with those photo's or that part of my life. Thankyou for the inspiration, and the poem. xoxo
wow, great job, hard topic to scrap, maybe I can scrap a lo of my first wedding with that poem instead of hiding away all the pictures of what didn't work. tfs.
Sorry that you think this is weird Helga... I'm making this memory book for my Mother of my late brother. Like it or not, Amy was a part of his life. She was a lot of fun. I just LOVE this photo of them... even though I ripped it in half (it's actually a copy that I printed - no way that I would tear the original!) It's tough putting together 40 years of one's life on paper... but it is healing therapy for me to do this of him, even though he died back in 2005. I'm including both the good and not so good in this scrapbook. Fortunately, it was 99% GOOD. I hope that this answers your question. :-)
The marriage didn't last more than 2-3 years... it saddened me that they broke up, because I love them both. Nobody saw the breakup coming... the journaling is a poem that was on a piece of paper that I found with his wedding photos. It reads: After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats openly, your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... that you really are strong. And you really do have worth. -Anonymous
