Digi Dares | A Mother Is…

This week’s Digi Dare #322 is all about mothers.  Originally this dare was going live on Mother’s Day week, so the topic was very timely.  But the Dare got pushed back due to the site redesign and the Digi Dares 6th anniversary.  Click on over to the newly redesigned Digi Dares and join us this week to scrap about motherhood, your own mother, or being a mother!

Here is my page.

Journaling:  When I was little, you were the world to me. You showed me unconditional love, which gave me the confidence to explore the world and be myself. Even when I grew up and flew the nest, you were still my champion and my biggest comforter and cheerleader. Now that you’re gone, you’ve left an empty space in my heart. Even as an adult, I still need my mom. You were the moon and the stars to me. You still are.

The photo is of me and my mom.  I think I was maybe three years old in the photo.  I found this photo in an old photo album that I went through, after my mom passed away.  I’m still in the process of going through old family albums and scanning them, and then putting the scanned photos into new acid-free albums.  The project has taken a long time and I’ll blog about it sometime. 

Here is the dare.  We would love it if you would join us this week!

    1. Thank you sweetie, for the pity comment. It's sad for me to share such a personal layout and not get much feedback. Quite frustrating indeed.
