:heartpumppink: :love: :heartpumppink: I love this! Love the words and colors. The Colorful butterfly really stands out. This layout is so filled with love. I see the love story and the next chapter of loving you. The photo is stunning. I love how you treated it and how she (you) is running forward yet reaching up. I know the photo was just fun and a spur of the moment but oh it says so much now in this layout.

Thanks so much, Tracy. As always, you totally "get" my symbolism, as well as everything else. I always look forward to your wonderful and meaningful comments. :heartpumpred::beatingheart:

Cheryl, I don't find this LO sad at all. It is beautiful and such a tender enduring love story. The figure that is "you" has one outstretched hand to the heavens and one foot on the ground anchoring you to us until it is time for you two to be reunited. I am in awe of your creative intuition! BTW I love that song by Joe Cocker!

Hugs to you, friend. Yesterday was the two month mark for Dad. Mom has nearly given up living. I say I understand, but I didn't live with someone for 73 years, yet, so I don't, really. "The two shall become One flesh" isn't jargon, it's real. It's why it matters so much that we have God's guiding on who we join to. Praying for you as you "rearrange" the space in your heart and life for Chuck. He is still part of you.

Thanks for the hugs, Amanda. I feel for your mom - I have days that are pretty dark, but I get through them and have more good days, thankfully. "The two shall become One flesh" is so true. There's a part of me that's missing and I'm trying to re-arrange (I like that word) my heart and my life without Chuck. He will always be a part of me. :heartpumpred: :heartpumpred: :hug2:

Yes, I got a bit teary-eyed reading your intro to the challenge and looking at your marvelous art journal page. I remember those days too vividly. Days I wondered who I was without "him" in my life...who I was on my own! After being soul mates with someone for 47 years, it is hard to move on! But you do and the memories are so sweet and precious! I think I just gave myself an idea for my page.....focus on now and how blessed I am. He (God) never left me! And He remains by my side. And even though I have remarried, those precious and sweet memories visit me everyday and make me happy that they happened!

Oh my goodness, Vicky. Your comments just gave me so much hope (as well as chills, as I read them.) Thank you for your heartfelt words and you don't know how much your comments touched my heart. I love hearing about how those of you who have lost your "soul mates' carry on and move forward. Thank you, more than I can even tell you. :heartpumpred::heartpumpred::heartpumpred:
