Life's Journey

This is a layout I have been working on for sometime and made a few minor changes last night and finished off the journaling... I have entered it into the SBC Awards Night for 'Most Compelling Journaling Layout'...

A portion of the journaling is on the front of the layout and the rest was too long so I have it hidden behind the photo! Which READS...

When a child is placed into your arms at birth you automatically become overwhelmed with emotions and dream of this perfect little world for your child. But this time it was different my life was going to change in such a big way, one I was not so certain I would be able to manage. But everyday as you fought for your life and struggled to breathe, my heart ached for my little boy to survive. And I made a promise to myself that if you did fight back that I would love you forever and to be by your side every step of the way, and to ensure that you would be able to live a happy normal life. It was like you heard my prayers and you had that will to survive and determination that you were going to come home with ME.

The first few weeks were just a blur with so many thoughts whirling through my head trying to come terms with the life that was dealt to you. I still don’t know how I managed those ever so difficult months of hospital visits, operations and plenty of sleepless nights. But I realised I had to cope because you needed me and I knew that I was so lucky to have been given the most precious gift anyone could receive and that was a beautiful special little boy YOU.

Over the years you and I have shared so many special moments together, and you never stopped smiling and giving your love to everyone that you meet. I have been there for all those special moments that mothers dream about all did come true maybe not at the same time as other children but they did happen.

So from that day that we made our special pact, I have kept my promise to you. Therefore always remember that I will always be beside you to encourage and help you through your life. Even though sometimes I might not be there to hold your hand, just listen for my footsteps and know that I am there right beside you guiding you through your journey of life.
