"For Him" by Marti

DateWednesday, January 13, 2010 at 4:00AM

And our returning guest contributor, Marti, had this to share:

This year it's all FOR HIM. We're traveling it together.

Journaling: Up until now I've kept him hidden in my heart. I've only taken him out when it felt safe. This year will be different. This year I'm truly going to share him with the world. I bought this ornament for his 1st Christmas. I always pack it away with the rest of the ornaments afterwards. Not this year. 2010 will be the beginning of a new tradition. I'm going to keep it on display - front and center. As a reminder of the love and joy he brought into our lives.

Marti, this is such an incredibly powerful LO, both in its content and journaling.

I just found this blog and am so moved by all I see! I have so much loss in my life. My son, brother, father and cousin within years of each other and I haven't scrapped a lot about them and soooo want to! Thank you!

An incredibly moving LO, Marti ... so many ways to interpret the layout (I initially read it "for him" as a religious stance) and the journaling is so touching.
