121 Months

I quickly glanced at  the pictures stacked on my dresser today. Lola, Milo, Finley...I have some serious memory book pictures to fill in and complete. The Angel Book, The “never- ending” Baby Book, and the Birthday Book. It’s not very often I get to complete my projects in three, for my three children. One day hopefully my boys will share their books with their families, and maybe even Lola’s. I promised myself today I would complete Lola’s book from her tenth birthday, it’s always a difficult task to complete. In fact, it’s one thing I procrastinate on. To gently tuck in her birthday letter, place a memory from the day in the picture pocket, and finally her “birthday gift”  picture.  It’s quite different than writing about Finley’s birthday at Fort Wilderness,  and placing a family photo with Chip and Dale. When they say a “mother wears all different types of hats,” I bet no one ever thought of the role of the Mom who lost her child, and then carries on with her others. These Moms are different and unique, no one will ever understand unless they have walked the walk. It’s a world like no other....

So wish me luck scrapbooking tonight....
Love,
The Mother of an Angel
