Here’s another layout I made for AMM’s November kit.
Journaling Reads:
Nathaniel, seeing this sweet face of yours crunched up into so many pieces breaks my heart. It makes me want to pick you up and smother you with kisses. Hug you so tight that you can feel my heart beating on yours. It makes me want to protect you for the rest of your life. Make sure no one can ever cause you harm. Make sure you will never feel sorrow or loneliness or heartbreak.
But I know that I can’t stop those things. I know that you will have your share of sad moments and I will just have to pray that they are short and far in between. I can’t stop some of these bad things from happening to you.
But, right now, while you’re still so tiny and feeling so much sorrow, I can scoop you up and hold you close to my heart. I can still turn that sad face into a happy one.
And, for as long as I can, I will do it over and over again.
Great layout! I always feel bad taking those crying pictures because I feel like I should be picking her up instead of taking pictures of her crying, but I treasure them just the same. They capture her just as much as the happy, smiley ones. So glad to see others do it, too.
Love it.
Beautifully captured and something to treasure even though he may not appreciate it during his teenage years.
