Description
Allison Pennington - Bad Stuff

journaling:
Birthdays are so hard for you since you became nine. That year we were supposed to go to your father to celebrate your birthday with him. But a few days before he canceled the meeting with you for reasons that didn't make sense to you (or me). He didn't send a card or called to wish you a happy
birthday. Your heart broke and mine too from seeing you so upset that he did that. Since then you don't have any contact with him and you rather skip your birthday all together.

Tomorrow it's your birthday again. The past couple of days I could see a change in your behaviour already and yesterday there were the first tears. You don't want a party, you don't want to celebrate, but I try to make it a good day for you because you deserve that and a whole lot more!

I hope tomorrow will be a good day and each year following, a bit better again!

Oh my heart broke into little pieces as I read this journaling. It's raw and real and heartbreaking. And it was my own story when I was nine years old. The disappointment and heartache from being let down by someone you love SO much can be a heavy weight to bear, indeed. It DOES get better. But it doesn't feel like it when you don't have the benefit of looking back on it many years later. I do hope each year and each day are brighter and better. I hope one day birthdays will be the source of joy that is deserved. :beat

The page itself is gorgeous simplicity. LOVE this photo. The mood conveyed. Your use of the arrows to frame and hold focus on the journaling. And that pop of b/w along the side. Brills.

Aw, my heart hurts for you and him. I wish there were no tears and there was some way to bring smiles and happiness. I can only imagine how it pains you and in journaling this you shared that with others - thank you for that. I hope there is healing for both of you and that a there was a happy birthday and that each year than get even happier. Your page is so beautiful and I love the clean, graphic design. Thanks for participating in the challenge!
