January 31 - The End

My first thoughts were to write about last days with my parents or with the cats who have been part of our family, but I really didn't want to spend the whole day crying. So I chose the day our youngest moved out on her own.

 

what an appropriate title for the last challenge!

 

Thank you for a great month of challenges!

 

Too much family drama to "go deep" with this. Made it positive instead.

 

Love your challenge Laura!

Here's mine!

 

Here's my page. And to make it easier to read, here's the journaling:

It was the end of our vacation and it was time to go home. Sigh. The two weeks we spent in California were very busy and oh, so much fun. I don't know which part was best. We saw amazing sights at Joshua Tree National Park, enjoyed visiting with our friends, and loved being with family at Christmas. All that I know is I'm so happy we made the trip for it was perfect in every way. And that's the way I want to remember it all. Of course J thought I was crazy for taking a photo of him in the airport while we waited for our flight home. He thinks that I take too many photos as it is. But that's okay. He can think whatever he wants. I don't mind being the crazy one in the family!

Thanks for the great MOC. I know how hard y'all work at putting this on every year and it is very much appreciated. I just feel bad that this renovation happened during the month which took me away from things more than I wanted, but we can't plan these things! I got a lot of pages done of our Christmas vacation, which is a good thing. Maybe I'll finish the album sometime this year, rather than in 2027 or something. lol!!

 

this was my first participation, thank you very much for all these challenges that have taken me out of my comfort zone several times!

 

the last day I still operated under notion that my dd was alright.

It wasn't my first dog that I lost, but Unica was my special dog and I still can't believe that she isn't here anymore.

 

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful challenges this month!

 

and with this, I finish MOC 8 2020!
This is for MOC31 January 31, 2020 "The End"



Journaling:
"I look at this picture, and I see a boy and a girl so carefree and happy. Not long after, on the eve of their 4th month anniversary, he broke up with her. This was the End. It broke her heart, and she really tried to understand, and then after much conversation, he revealed that he had a problem with her being Catholic. This ending is such a heart wrencher. The first heartbreak is so hard to get over and understand. This won't be The Last Time. As I was sitting praying over the situation, this quote from a U2 song kept going through my head:

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

and I felt the first bit of peace about it. Melissa and Sam's beginning has ended - and now that wonderful NEW Beginning is on the horizon - let's look to that and the future!! "

Translation of my text :
Gabriel is desperate to learn riding a bike without the small wheels.
During the holidays, we decide to leave to take the bikes to a good place. Arrivals on site, we realize that the tire has a flat. It was a short ride.
