It was a rough day

Missing-him

This isn’t necessarily one of my favorite layouts I’ve ever done, in fact it’s kind of simple and bland.  I wanted it way though, I wanted the journaling to be powerful, and it is. Sunday was rough for me.  It comes out of the blue and hits hard.  Over the last 8 years, it has [...]

She’s changing

She won’t let me take her picture anymore. I had to beg and plead to take this one while on the mother/daughter retreat. She is self conscious, a new development. It’s a sad one for me. I remember the feeling of just not being comfortable in my own skin. There was always some other girl [...]
