January 31: Scrap from your Heart

My first thought when reading this quote was about my dad, who passed away in Oct. 2019 from Pancreatic cancer. The quote is very true, I cherish my memories of him a lot more now than when they were happening, knowing I cannot go back and see him again. Miss him terribly!

 
Thank you for a wonderful MOC9! I am so happy I was able to finish.
 
This was the first time seeing my (first and only) nephew.....Thinking back now he was so tiny and cute. It has since become a fond memory!

Dear Julie, I am a doubter at heart, I am also a fact checker when in doubt, the quote didn't sit right with Dr. Seuss, whose works I am very very familiar with, so a quick look up and down the internet and I located it as a misattributed quote, as he would have been but a teen at the time of its first publication, an actual quote is thought to belong to the pen of a French writer Georges Duhamel from his work The Heart's Domain... and it has different translations into English from original French... and it goes
"We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory." So in the spirit of the challenge (and you can see the source for my information https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss, the orange part is for misattributed quotes)

I understand I could do exactly what you ask (and I will if you insist, this is THE last challenge, and I would like to finish all) and then be a pedant in my spare time and put the correct quote or a different one that is of the similar meaning but not made up :) or "Dr.Seuss's" quote but without his name mentioned anywhere on the page that I plan to keep... but it seems to me that it would go exactly the wrong way with the Spirit of the Challenge which is Scrap from the heart?! Right?! Please, advise

If you want to remove the attribute to Dr. Seuss, that's fine. But your page should contain the quote as it is listed in the challenge.
 
Thank you for the beautiful end to MOC. The quote helped me tackle something I have been unable to.
My journaling reads -
'I didn’t know when I took these photos that it would be the last time I would ever see these beloved babies. Zippy (left) belonged to my bestie JT and Oscar (right) belonged to my parents. Both of them left us in 2020 and even though neither of them belonged to me, they gave me so much unconditional and unexpected love and trust.'

 

My Mum passed away a couple of years ago, and this year we lost John's Dad, so this is the last time I had both sets of parents with me, if I knew it then I would have hugged them harder. 20 years ago. All five (and John, who's taken the pic) of us together in the same place.
 
Thank you for another amazing MOC. I chose to go photoless for this final challenge. This lady from Rebecca's Painted Dreams appears to be remembering a moment.
 
This was a great end to a fun month of challenges. Thanks! I did expect these pictures to be so emotional for me. I've never enjoyed helping with these parties, but it's different when you know it's done!
