Challenge #4 - Leigh's Layout

Oh My Gosh!!! This layout took me FOREVER!!! I started with one picture, then added a second. Then I finally found the kit I wanted to use which worked perfectly for me, though I'm not sure if it met all the requitements for the layout. So we will see. It took me 2 days to make the layout in and amongst cleaning the house with my DH (we have been doing a full clean of the house since the beginning of the year). Now it has taken me a little over an hour today to complete the journaling, usually journaling is not as hard for me but in this instance it was a bit harder. I had to stop a few times, too many tears. So, without further ado I give you....Someday....

Journaling Reads:

Someday I’ll be able to tell you all the stories I want to tell you about Grand. Someday I’ll be able to tell you about all the special things Grand was to me as a mother without crying my eyes out first. Someday, we will be able to talk about Grand, and you will be able to ask me more questions than just “Mamma, Do you miss her?” and “Grand is in Heaven, right?” Someday all these things will be true about when we talk about Grand. Then there is Grammie, Oh what a truely special relationship you have with Grammie. How Blessed are you that you have Grammie to watch over you while you are here, and your angel Grand to help watch over you from above. I know in my heart that Grand watches over, and especially sits with Grammie as an angel on her shoulder also. The greatest Blessing is knowing that SOMEDAY we will all be together.

Ok, so hopefully we will get good news and we will be on to the next round, as nerveracking as it sometimes is, this has really been a whole lot of fun!!! Thanks again to all who have been by and commented, it does mean soooooo much to us. Until next time....

Blessings!!!

Florian would never leave a comment himself, but I caught him with tears rolling down his cheeks, when he read this (silly guy though tried to read the journalling on the layout, he didn't think to scroll down a bit more)
