Remembering


Hello! 
 It has been awhile.  
       This week's inspirations came from two challenges.  First from Brenshevia's  sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy.   The other was from  ARTastic Challenge Blog.  Where they are working with the amazing artwork by Josh Miels called We will remember them.  The CRITERIA is to use TYPOGRAPHY on our work.
Making this week's layout has been very emotional.  Four years ago this week my Father died and the letter I placed on my layout was found in an old book I had purchased around the same time.  I was going through some other books when I came across  this one and when I went to look in it, it opened to the page with this letter from Dad to his Dearest Daughter.  (page 119).  There was also on the opposite page a letter from Mother to her Dearest Daughter.  I read them both and felt my Daddy and Mommy were sending me a message to comfort me.  To let me know they were together again. We are never too old to need comfort from our loved ones.
