Forgive Yourself...

meaning Myself. A few days ago I came across this inspirational blog and prompt #10 is about forgiveness. The journaling reads: Almost 5 years ago I left her...never thinking that I would actually spent the remaining of her time here on Earth away from her. The struggles she went through after I left her were innumerable. The times she felt lonely were uncountable. The days she spent missing US were eternal. How can I forgive myself for not being there when she needed me the most? How can I go on with my LIFE without living with this huge regret? How can I find the COURAGE to forgive myself?

Then all of a sudden I can hear her whispering in my ear...don't be so hard on yourself. You did what you needed to do for your little family. You did what any good MOTHER would do for her children's well being. You did exactly what you needed to do, and I'm so PROUD of yourself. Then I smile and almost forgive myself...ALMOST.

Those who are frequent readers will know that this LO is about my grandmama, and how I need to forgive myself for spending the last years of her life when she needed me the most a thousand miles away and a sea a many states away. Sigh!

I used August Smaller kit from Apron Strings for this LO and this one below which is of my mom and my aunt.

For these two I used the second portion of the April kit #1 from Transparent Touches.

Well, that's it for today. Many blessings to all my readers.
