I am so sorry for your loss!
I love your layout though and I loved reading the story. I love all the pretty clusters and details as well.
I hope that creating this layout worked therapeutic for you.
Hugs.
I'm sorry for you loss Grace - You beautifully captured the mix of emotions here. I have a friend who lost her mom on a holiday and feels like you. It is getting better for her after time, to honor the loss, but enjoy the holiday. I hope you get the same enjoyment of your favorite time of year down the road. (((Hugs))) Your page is indeed capturing the bittersweet feelings.
Oh Grace, I'm so sorry for your loss too. Your journalling shows how greatly he was loved. I hope you get to the stage where September eventually becomes a month of happy memories with your Dad - a celebration of every good thing he did for you and with you. Hugs <3
