Missing my sweet angel…

My baby girl’s birthday was yesterday.  We were shopping at the store Friday night, walking by the cake section at the bakery and I almost lost it.  Angela loved ice cream cake.  Yesterday a few friends came over with cake and ice cream just like she would have loved.  I know Miss C and Miss L didn’t quite understand, but they tried.

Angela would have been eight years old.  Hard to believe in some ways, but in others it is hard to believe it has only been that long.  Her two beautiful sisters here kept me smiling but tonight I just had to sit down and put my facebook post down in a scrapbook page.  I choose Autumn Bliss created by Sweet Tomato Designs.  (see my scrapbooking blog post)

This month has been stressful.  The next month brings continued uncertainty and another emotional anniversary. But this is why I started scrapbooking.  Therapy.  And digital scrapbooking therapy is certainly cheaper than retail therapy!  (Not that there is anywhere around here for the latter either!)

I know I’m going to have my moments, especially over the course of the next month.  But family is here to support, and God is hanging on to me.
