"What They Remember" by Amanda

My turn. I had the very best of intentions to draw a picture myself for this challenge. Really. Believe it or not, sometimes I can draw. Sometimes. ;) As it turns out, though, drawing something this dear to me wasn't doable on this timeline. (I was attempting to do a portrait of my dad. Something inanimate like a tractor probably would have been simpler. I was just too close to the subject matter and knew I couldn't capture what I wanted to capture.) So. I asked my 7 year old to draw me a picture instead. I gave him the instructions, "draw something you remember about Papa." This is what he came up with:

Though my other two boys didn't want to draw a picture, they did all join in our conversation about what they remember about my dad...which sadly isn't much. Doing layouts like this, though, remind me of the importance of bringing up the stories more frequently...and of recording them. 

Please remember to share your own take on this challenge! Post a link to your layout/project in the comments of the original challenge post so we can all learn more about your loved one, okay?
