The Reason Why…
Right now I am on a trip to visit my Grandma. My entire life I have ever only known one grandparent, because the rest of them passed away before I was born. My Grandma has always lived states away, so to be able to visit her is such a treat. My sweet Grandma is 90 years old. As I was preparing for this trip I have been flooded with amazing memories of her in my life. Then I started thinking about her life. What did I know about her? I want to know everything. I want to know what it was like for her growing up. How she felt when she got married, or had her children. How did she raise 4 children? How did she deal with losing a child? So many unanswered questions about her life, that are important to me and to the rest of our family. And then I had such a great feeling, because this is why I do this! All of these unanswered questions are the reason that I scrapbook. They are the reason that I document me, and my thoughts and feelings. They are the reason I journal about regular life. I want to remember and I want my kids to know all about me and my life. On my trip I am visiting with my Grandma and getting some of these questions answered. I can’t wait to document her life for me and our family. There is a reason why we do this… not just because it is fun and addicting! 🙂 We do this for ourselves, for our families, for our posterity. We do this to help leave our mark and our legacy!
Here is one of my favorite pages that I scrapped about my Grandma! ♥
