Such a cute! idea for a challenge!...I wanted to create a Valentine's Day page as a tribute to my Ray [husband] who passed away several months ago...Some days are long...These last few months have been some of the toughest of my life,along with my serious health struggles...This was the first Valentine's Day without my Ray...I tried to downplay the day in question...but decided to mark the occasion with a heartfelt layout...It took me a few days to create & complete how I wanted it to turn out...These days,it doesn't take much to remind me of my Sweet Ray!...He was the light of my life...The sunshine in my day!...The moonlight at night!...Grief! is crippling!...I chose an older photo of both of us from 1999!...How quickly does time fly! by!!!...How young & pretty! I once was in 1999!...25 years ago...a lifetime ago...Who was she?...Those days have gone by in a blink of an eye...I don't know where that girl went...My life has changed completely...That girl doesn't exist anymore...Sometimes the happy times are some of the most painful to remember...However,this was one of Raymond's favorite photos of us...Here's to you my Sweet Raymond Love...I will Love! you forever & ever...Wishing you were still here with me...xoxo Rhonda...
