April piece for Christopher. Our Granddaughter Tosha had a dream about Chris and she said it seemed so real like he was really there with her, but he said that he could only stay a while and that he had to leave on April 4th. She said she did not realize at the time that April 4th was Easter. Tosha and Chris were always very close. His passing has been very hard for her to cope with. Its been very hard for all of us, I wonder when it will get easier.

I have finished both of my February journal pages. I have yet to finish my second January piece, but that's coming soon. This first "page" is for my Grandson Chris. The two faces on the broken heart represent his parents Mike and Laurie. The crystal drops represent the many tears we have all shed at his loss. So many tears. Jack looked at these February pieces and was not happy with them. He didn't think it looked like my beading, it was too messy. I told him it looked just like I wanted it too. Tattered. A heart in shreds. It upset me for days and I even entertained the thought of not doing the journals. Shows how close to the surface the emotions still are. Its just so hard.....
