Its not artsy. I didn't use anything but photos. I spent a lot of time thinking on this months word and was stumped. I had NO idea what I needed to get out and create. October is my dad's birthday month and he's been gone a long time (feels like yesterday) so as I sat here today thinking embrace....... I decided to embrace all the feels October brings with his birthday. A few tears, melancholy moments, sniffles, and here he is, embraced and loved.
Oh, wow, Tracy, this is a beautiful tribute to your dad. The first think I noticed was the fact that is wall all photos, unusual for you to share that much personal info which makes it that much more special. You look so much like him and he looks like quite the character, now I know where you got it from. You channeled the tears with memories of joy, it's really beautiful Twin!
 
Now we know where you got your beautiful smile from! I love Love LOVE the photo montage. It looks like you captured many different eras from your dad's life! He looks so happy and joyful in all the pictures!! It's a beautiful thing to be vulnerable in your creativity. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself through this tribute to your dad and how much he's loved. :heartpumpred:

Thank you. Yes, I do tend to keep things more private, but I was very selective of the photos I shared. And yes, I look just like him, who looked just like his mom. I could be my grandma. Genetics is strong in that line. :heartpumppink:

Thank you. Yes, many years of photos. And he was always smiling. I am thankful one of the many things I got from him was his smile. Maybe he shouldn't have shared so much ornery humor but that's okay too :giggle4::heartpumppink:
 
This is such a beautiful tribute to your dad, Tracy. You did such an amazing job with all of these photos. I know this month has been difficult for you, anniversaries always are. This is just a wonderful compilation of photograph and memories all rolled into one. Fantastic Art Journaling page. I love it. :heartpumpred::heartpumpred::heartpumpred:

Thank you. It was so fun (and hard) to go through all my photos. I had to stop after a certain point. I might actually add this one to my printed book. I dont normally print AJ pages but this one might be added. :heartpumppink:

Oh, you definitely should get this printed. I just got quite a few prints today from Walmart. I need to fan them out and take a picture and show you.
 
What a wonderful tribute to your very special Father!! I agree you should have this printed out! It must have been a day of mixed emotions putting this together! Tears, Love, Laughter, Heartache. Just a lovely page!!

Thank you Trudy. It was a mixed emotion day. :heartpumppink:
 
Tracy, I don't think I can add much more to the comments; it's an amazing LO. From the photos and the middle title, it looks like your Dad was quite a risk-taker - am I correct? There is a quote I heard a long time ago and can't remember the exact words but it was something like, "tears are the pathway to the soul". I went online to see if I could find it but no luck, but I found some other quotes:
"A strong person is not the one who doesn't cry. A strong person is the one who cries and sheds tears, and then gets up and fights again".
"Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can't speak." (I really like this one!)
