Tomorrow I will be attending National Scrap booking DayIt will be very emotional for me as I will be working on a wedding album for Jim
When Lorraine got married in 2009 I did a wedding album for myself
We were all ways going to work on doing her album together but some how she just never had the energy to do it
A few weeks prior to her leaving us she said " Mum I think you had best do my album for Jim "
So tomorrow I will start This album
I havent been able to bring myself to do it ,So hopefully tomorrow I will make a good start on it
I have some lovely photos to work with and some lovely memories to go with them
It was the happiest day of her life
A few weeks prior to the wedding , she was told that the cancer had spread and she had a brain tumour
She had 13 months of happiness as Jims wife
We miss her so much
Working on that journal is going to be so hard.....my heart just goes out to you. You can do it and it will be so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh Illene, yes this will be very emotional for you, but it will also be healing for you ( therapy).. visual memories of one of the happiest days in Lorraine's life you are going to present to one who loved her unconditionally..I will be thinking of you tomorrow,the radiance is glowing from you both in that photo it's gogeous.

I agree with the others - it will be a hard project for you - but I think you will find joy in remembering the sweetness of Lorraine and the joy she felt on her wedding day - just look at her smiling. She was so very happy AND she found love to make her time here on earth complete. She will be with you tomorrow as you touch the photos - she will be touching your heart and trying to comfort you. Let her spirit surround you and enjoy her presence :)
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how difficult this is going to be for you Illene. But I also know it will help you heal a little. And what a wonderful gift it will be for Jim. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing, doing the album for Jim. It will be hard, but Lorraine will be there with you, looking over your shoulder and smiling at the pictures and memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do for Jim Illene. It is going to be hard for you sweetie but it will bring you nice happy memories and they are the best kind. If it gets too hard honey just pack it up and do it another day.
