OLW challenge

i finally put all assignments and deadlines aside and scrapbooked for myself tonight - it was actually kind of nice - the OLW blog challenges always seems to get me in this serious DEEP mood and i can get some of my feelings of my chest and on to paper - this has been bugging me for a while and it was good to just get it out. The word was CHOOSE. I used mostly the August kit from Label Tulip - the rubon letters and the acrylic border are Fancy Pants Designs - and i used my threading water punch for the first time - i know its old news but I LOVE IT!

Here is the journaling because i know its hard to read.

I hope one day that your stubborn personality will come in handy and you will “choose” life. Right now at 5 you are struggling with the fact that you have Cystic Fibrosis and your siblings don’t. You want to know why and how – life just isn’t fair. Every time we have to do treatments it’s a fight – you scream, yell, cry – want to know why you have to wear the vest and feel like it’s the end of the world. I feel like a horrible mom – I finally stooped where I said I never would and told you that if you didn’t do your treatment you would live in the hospital for a very long time and that you could die………I really had good intentions – I only wanted you to understand that I never want that to happen and that I want you to be as strong and healthy as you can so that we can be together as long as possible. I know one day – your stubbornness will help you get through the challenges in life and that you won’t let it get you down – hopefully right now its just a phase – and its my job as your mom to just love you while you go through it.

Okay enough of that - since school has started I was really dreading the early mornings with treatment and for the last 2 days he's done really well - so keep your fingers crossed! Thanks for stopping by!
