I'm sorry for this heavy page. It's not a happy page, but it's part of our life and history now and I felt it needed to be captured. I could have journaled the entire page full, but I copied the text I put in my journal the next day and tried to keep it short and to the facts.
What a scary time. Good journaling to help remember that time. There was a shooting off-campus at the University of Idaho in Moscow where my granddaughter is studying. A scary time for all. However we didn't know about it until we saw it on the news.
you know I heard about this, we looked for more info with Sarita and our hearts break, I didn't know he was there.... the page is heavy, but what is the point if we don't scrap all the events in our lives? I didn't read through the whole thing because I am alone, but is this kind of page, the way in which you have the greatest ability to do memory keeping no matter what the subject and making into a memorable, amazingly beautiful piece of art that was great part of what made me love you from the first week I came to The Pad.... will come back to talk more once I read when Sarita finishes work, and I need to seriously catch up with you, promise will do, for now..... Into the APRIL Froggy Faves!!!!
Such an amazing layout Karen. I wish this wasn't happening all the time. I don't know how I would've handled this myself! I think being on the phone and knowing he wasn't moving or in his building calms me when reading this. It hits the heart, especially as a mom and one that will be sending her oldest away by years end. Thank you for sharing.
As a Mother, I cannot even begin to imagine how scary the events of that evening must have been. Thank you for sharing. Sending much love to you, and your son as you move forward.
