the page is absolutely amazing, as always with you, your signature is all over the page, the feeling can be felt even before I read your journaling...and when I read your journaling......I have tears in me eyes because I know exactly the feeling...only with us there are 14000 kilometers between us....Thank God for Skype ... I have to say: of course they are proud of you...... I'm not blood family of yours but I do feel proud of everything you do...and you have been a role model to me, with all my heart....I think you are one super woman...I know very VERY few of those is my almost 60 years of life...... This is gorgeous, love the page, love you dearly....and I owe you big time... I hope that one day I will be able to give as much as you have given me....I try give it to others, passing along the faith, the motherhood, the friendship, the mentoring and love..... today of all days I am sad after hearing of Andrea Boyer passing away... I had to come tell you I love you. And the pages, of course

This is so beautiful, Anne! Your journaling is just precious. My mom lives in a different state than I do, too and it can be so hard sometimes, especially when you have to say good-bye.

Wonderful page!

Anne, this is so wonderful! So full of pure emotion and heartfelt - loved reading your words! My parents live very far away as well so I can completely relate to your journaling and could easily use your words on a page of my own! Thanks for doing the challenge!

Stunning and beautiful journaling and cool photo!

I love your heartfelt journaling, and even while I am moved by it ,I look at the photo and the page as a whole and I am amazed at how much emotion there can be in just 1 scrap page.

Powerful and gorgeous page

wow I love the big pic with the side journaling. The goldish/yellow is the perfect amt. to make it pop

Wow. So arty and striking and very moving. Love it

Oh Anne! You sure do know how to evoke emotions in your pages! Loved reading your journaling and it made me wish I could buy you a teleporter to pop back and forth so you could see your parents more without eithe of you having to move. Wouldn't that be fantastic? I love the dark colors and the paint bits and elements with this B&W photo. Very artistic page!
