Your layout is beautiful and heartwarming. I love the fall colors and the lovely flowers and love how you turned the design 90 degrees. Love the photo. I'm so sorry for your lovely dd and you and hope and pray that you will both be ok and that you have a wonderful holiday. It's great that she asked for help..that is a good sign.
I have added you and your beautiful daughter to my prayers. I really appreciate what you are going through - I have been there with my son - the key is she asked to be taken - she knows she has your love and it is not your fault - I am sure she will tell you that! I think this layout sums up a lot of how we all feel sometime - what would I change if I could go back and how would my current life be changed. I am sad that the tree is gone - I think it was a place of comfort. Maybe find a place for both you and your dd to be your special place together.
so pretty! Beautiful journaling, sorry for daughters pain and suffering and yours as well as you watch her go through it all. Sending hugs your way! You knocked your lo out of the park!
This is such a profound LO....Amaxing how much can be told on one page...I am so sorry for the pain you and your daughter are experiencing but glad to hear that progress is being made...that she WANTED help is the whole battle...many don't or won't....sending good thoughts and hugs your way...and this is an amazing LO
A truly beautiful layout! Not just because of the colors or embellishments you used but also because you weren't afraid to tell your story! I hope things get better for you and your family. ((hugs))
Week 2 Round robin - I had the pleasure of lifting Dollscrap's The Bride which can be found here: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/13236/view/3787207/-1.html. The flowers I got last year from a flower swap, but I forgot who made them, sorry. The fall kit was from tcletoaddison/Toni. Inside the matchbook, I have hidden journaling. As many of you know, on Halloween night, I took my daughter to the hospital for suicidal ideation and depression. She had asked to go. I had no idea. The weekend before she ran away and was gone for 2 days. She was in the hospital that night and then transferred to another facility for 7 days. After seeing Jeannie's lo, it was so beautiful, I thought maybe I could do a heritage photo as well when I came upon this one of me when I was 17, a senior in high school. Fall of 1978, I'm sitting on my favorite tree in one of my favorite parks. Staring at that picture made me think how much things change all around us. I went to that park this summer and the tree was gone. But I look at myself in that pic and I look the same 35 years later, just a few more wrinkles and a few gray hairs. Time for a change, a new hair style. It's fall, the leaves are changing colors, the seasons are changing. I was a teenager, facing my own demons back then. My mother had died, I had been abused by a family friend. It changed me. My daughter lost her father, but she was never abused. What changed that she wanted to die? I've been in so much pain from my back problems, have I neglected to see my daughter's pain? Those two weeks were the worst in my entire life. She came home and is doing much better. I'm doing a lot better.
Hidden journaling reads: Change - Often times the changes going on around us are inevitable. Sometimes they are for the good and many times not so good. The choices we make on how we deal with life can change us forever. Changes shape our lives. Sitting on that tree 35 years ago, knowing what I know today, what changes would I make in my life?
