Beautiful... layout and the journaling... well, that blew me away. Thank you for sharing something that is so honest and must be so difficult. I wish you could do all those things to, mostly I wish for you joy and strength... which you already have.

Anne has a way with words, doesn't she - and I know she means them. It's nice to read such honest, real journaling and I too, wish you didn''t have those problems. I wish I didn't have a few problems of mine too but I think in the long run my blessings are greater than my troubles - you probably feel the same. You did a wonderful job journaling.

Anne is our word-meister and said exactly what I wanted to say so eloquently.  Your layout is now a favorite.  I love the photo and the journaling.  They are amazing words - heartfelt - honest - wishful - raw.  It makes your layout real.  I like real.  A lot.

I just wanted to add it is good to feel all of our emotions... yes, it is okay to be sad at times just as it is to be joyous. Life is a mixture of all those things. Your son is lucky to have a mother who is all of that and more.
