Once Upon A Sketch April Challenge.

So the challenge this April at 

Once Upon A Sketch 

Is to scrap an event that changed your life and to follow or be inspired by the sketch, 

which I shall show you below.

Now, the event that changed my life, that I have chosen is not a happy one.....and it happened quite some time ago!

This is the first layout/page solely dedicated to this event in my life.

Way back in September, 2000 as the world enjoyed the

Sydney Olympics and dreams came true our dreams of completing our family turned into a nightmare.

At 39 weeks gestation we lost our son.

Harrison James Ewins 

He was born still.

 

  {The Day You Went Away}

 

So many things run through your head after something like this happens in your life.

And while trying to journal about this event there are just too many thoughts, feelings and emotions, still, even after all this time!

You never get over it you just learn to live with it!

 I have stuck my journaling on the reverse of my layout.

My heart always goes out to those couples that suffer such a loss with their first pregnancies.....

Although it was hard at times to carry on in the early days after this loss, my children gave me the strength to move forward. 

On a happy note we did go on to have 3 more children. 

Sidney-McKenzie-Hugo

Sure I have a lot of children (*8) + 1 Angel

 but I know just how precious each and every one of them is!

 Here is the lovely sketch Nadia has created......for the April Challenge!

 

Thank you for stopping by

Cheers Kim
