Had an emotional day at my mom's yesterday. Why do people think that just because you are old you feel less?
Journaling:
Too many days I find you like this, asleep in your chair. And on these days you are merely a shadow of the Mom I remember. But I do remember. And when I look into your beautiful eyes, I see the mother who made me, loved me and held me always. I will remember that you love yellow roses, that you used to be vibrant and witty and that you loved to laugh. I remember that you loved to dance, wear dresses and that makeup was never very important to you. I remember you had a lifelong best friend, someone you shared secrets with. I will never forget how you love the ocean, the sound of bagpipes or gardens with Gladiolas blooming. I will remember how you let me bake with you, how you always made time for me, how I always came first. In so many ways I am you. I wont forget that you are a person, with thoughts, opinions and feelings, even if you cant or wont always express them. I wont forget that your dignity still matters to you even when others think it is ok to treat you like an empty shell. I will dress you, and care for you and hold you in my arms now. I will remind you that you are still a Mother, not a child. I will listen to you and reassure you. And I will always be grateful for every single moment I get to spend with you. I will be your voice. I will tell your story. I will not forget you.

Process | I began with a template. I clipped my photos to the masks and then clipped papers and transfers to the remaining masks and paint layers of the template. I added lots of word art and embellishments, then added my journaling.
