It's Been Too Long...

Wow, it's been ages since I've been here to blog anything, but life has been quite busy and I've not been doing a whole lot of scrapping except for a contest that Teri-Lynn talked me into over at TTS. The contest was really fun and I got a couple of layouts done that I've really been needing to do for over a year but just didn't have it in me to do, but for some reason I felt them calling me and now they are done. These should be the hardest ones I'll have do so I hope to actually be able to work on the rest of Whisper's book now. Here's the first one, the other one I can't post until next week.

This layout is about when we almost lost little Whisper in January of 2006. The journaling is the song "Our Farewell" by Within Temptation and makes my heart ache every time I hear it.

The words are as follows...

In my hands

A legacy of memories

I can hear you say my name

I can almost see your smile

Feel the warmth of your embrace

But there is nothing but silence now

Around the one I loved

Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child

See the sadness in your eyes

You are not alone in life

Although you might think that you are

Never thought

This day would come so soon

We had no time to say goodbye

How can the world just carry on?

I feel so lost when you are not by my side

But there's nothing but silence now

Around the one I loved

Is this our farewell?

So sorry your world is tumbling down

I will watch you through these nights

Rest your head and go to sleep

Because my child, this not our farewell.

This is not our farewell.
