I have been feeling a little down lately.
Been really missing my precious boy, MARK .
love this shot of him, at age two years, it is one of my fave when he was a toddler .
Mark always had such deep beautiful eyes, and a big open heart .
He was killed 13 years ago on his motor bike and I live each day to the best of my ability
BUT.. some days it is soooooooooooo difficult .
I thought I would get to work and create another page for his album,
I have created 50 pages of his life.
looking at his beautiful face, brings warmth and happiness to my heart .
'LOVE YOU FOREVER MARK xoxoox'
'MARK'
my own special angel x
I have done some personal hearfelt journaling hidden in these paper rolls .
All tied up with love x
thanks for dropping by everyone.
I am feeling ok today and scrapbooking always helps me move along my healing journey.
'Mark is always in my HEART ' .
I really love each of you guys who visit and always take the time to leave me some love
mwah to each of you.
you make my day
Heather this is just beautiful, I hope you are finding some comfort in putting together this beautiful album full of wonderful memories, take care xx
ReplyDeleteHeather I love the way you've put this page together, the detail is beautiful and it means so much more because you've shared your story about Mark. Scrapbooking does help us in many more ways than just being creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing tribute to your beautiful son, so touching Heather, and a truly magnificent layout - so much to see, so many exquisite bits 'n pieces to oogle over. I take note of your healing words on scrapping, I have not done any pages of my daughter, I hope in time I will be able to do so...
ReplyDeleteOh Heather, this is totally amazing!!! I LOVE it!!!

My heart goes out to you Heather! This page truly is beautiful!! I have never had to suffer a loss like you, but I do know that those loved ones who have passed are always with us, and I don't just mean metaphorically speaking.....
ReplyDeleteI also know that art and creativity are the greatest healers. The quote you have added below contains such a big truth.
This is so so beautiful, all the detail, you can feel the love that you have put into it. What a beautiful boy

Beautiful, precious photo, beautiful heartfelt journalling and a beautiful LO. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your dear son Mark. As you know I lost my mum in March this year but I cannot begin to imagine the pain of losing a child. I still have the beautiful words you sent me via The Boxx and I thankyou for that. Take care and know that you inspire so many of us in the scrapbooking world with your stunning work and heartfelt words. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteDear Heather, I am moved to tears by the potency of your words, as you process another layer of your grief. That you are able to channel your loss into beautiful art is truly a gift, which brings healing and hope to others on the journey. The photo of your little boy is absolutely beautiful and your monochromatic theme is perfect for it. Bravo! Sending healing hugs xo
ReplyDeleteOMG - so amazing
ReplyDeleteMy heart is singing with you on this page Heather, we share a loss so deep that sometimes............ Your page to him is truly a beautiful tribute to a little Angel. xxx
ReplyDeleteWishing you peace and God's blessings
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful boy - such a beautiful lo. My heart goes out to you. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteLove the depth and dimension to this layout.
ReplyDeleteI have been shying away from doing more pages of my mother who passed away 4 years ago. Perhaps I should go through my photos of her and do some more pages.
That must be so difficult for you to do Heather but you have done an outstanding job. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child. You are a strong and beautiful woman and a wonderful friend to so many and your art is amazing - I hope that gives you some solace in the sad times {{{{{hugs}}}}
ReplyDeleteHeather, frst of all thank you for sharing your heartfelt feelings with us. I can't imagine a greater loss in life than yours. But God is always there to help us in hard times and He has given you the gift of being able to express your feelings through your art. Art is comforting and healing. Please continue to use your talent as a tribute to Mark inspiring so many of us around the world!
ReplyDeleteAlways Heather, always. I have waited to leave my comment on this although I saw it on FB when you first posted it. Love cannot be measured, it's impossible for anyone to say "I love you more", it's something that can be stronger than any man-invented materia, it can be tender and soft as the fluff off a dandelion but there is nothing, and I say nothing more everlasting or stronger than the love of a mother of her child. When the wind strokes your cheek, ruffles your hair and warms your heart, or the love you feel that fleeting second before you fall asleep, that's Mark coming to check on his beautiful mama. You know what I'm trying to say and I'm always checkin in on you too, although it might not be in written words on your blog. Always Heather, always. xoxox
