26- Good bye for now... but not forever

I am quite a bit late in uploading this. And you may have seen it already in the DT reveal, but I wanted to share the details here.

The photo is off me and my partner walking our sons, Lachlan's coffin into his funeral.

The case was released on a special day, it was June 29th, 6 months since my sons passing.

For my evidence;
I used:
Scallops (scalloped lace)
Metal (black metal pendant and chain)
Flowers
Fleur-dy-lys
Added "icing" to my layout (gesso mixed with yellow paint, scrapped over page and elements)
Crown accent

For my testimony;
I used:
Add scallops to your journalling spot (my jourannling spot is hidden behind the bottom left hand side of the page, you can see some lace there. If you pull the lace the journalling spot is attached and will come out)

Write a bunch of little things about your subject and then finish with what the very best thing is/was
( I listed little things we did at the funeral to try and make it as lovely as possible. I then said the best thing about the sad event was the love that could be felt between everyone and for my son)

Inspiration word: Strong.
I wrote about how it took a lot of strength to plan my son's funeral. And how it was one of the hardest things a parent will ever have to do.

Thanks for reading for more info and close ups see my blog post:

Comment by Debbie Standard on July 13, 2012 at 5:59pm: Sooo sorry for you loss - can't imagine going through that. Beautiful page - know it took alot to create this.

Comment by Sylvia Mellander Ekman on July 13, 2012 at 1:52pm: Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry for your loss. What you experienced must be the worst thing anyone can go through. And I believe it is true that you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Your LO is beautiful. Serene and sad, yet filled with hope and faith. It's amazing that you had the strength to create it so soon efter your son's passing away. Know that my prayers are with you. xoxo
