Today's blog post for the Designers Connection is all about journals. What ever kind of journal you want to create. My journal is about a life changing moment in my life when my oldest daughter was told she had cancer, she was only 23 years old.
I remember her crying and there was nothing I could say to take her pain away, as her mom I was suppose to be able to fix anything but not this...I remember praying like I never had before and thinking, she is only 23...why?
My beautiful child has been through so much and just a few months ago more surgery, I made this journal, it was one of the hardest projects I had ever created. My daughter is fine now but I don't ever want to forget just how precious she is to me. I love you my beautiful, precious child.
I remember just how heavy my heart would feel, like something taking up free parking on my heart.
Every May 16th I think of when this all started, sitting at the hospital waiting to hear how she was, some day I will give my daughter my journal, she has seen it but the pouring out of my soul within these pages makes her cry as she doesn't remember anything on that day and as her mother it will forever be a day etched into my heart.

Pretty project and great journaling ideas!
What a touching story Terre. I am sure your daughter will be touched when you finaly give the journal to her. I am so glad she is doing well after hearing this devastating news. Your journal looks like you put so much heart into it.

What a lovely gift to pass along to your daughter. It is sure to be a treasured family heirloom!
This is so heartbreaking, as my DD's sweet friend is now going through not only fighting breast cancer, but was told the AM of her mastectomy that she was pregnant. Surgery was cancelled and then she was soon told the baby wasn't viable. She waited it out (hoping for the best) and miscarried 10 days later. They've tried for nearly 2 years to have a child. My heart breaks for her, so can only begin to imagine what you & your DD have been through, Terre. Know she'll forever treasure this journal!
