Last week feb. 5 was my dad's birthday. It's really a weird day, i started thinking about the last time we celebrated his birthday when he was a live... Feb 5 - 2000.. He never had a real birthday party, so i decided to create a birthday party for him.. We decorated the walls with ballons and garlands ,we decorated a special chair, we bought birthday hats and wistles. I made a whole pot of goulash (one of his fave meals) and we invited the whole family. We bought him a gift bag with weels.. So we called him and told him he should come here to our house to celebrate his birthday.. and then he saw all that he was so happy his face .. an unforgettable moment. I always loved to see him smile. He was really happy..thinking back i am so glad we did this not knowing that this was his last birthday he would celebrate among us..he past away a few months after. So now every year on his birthday, i light up a candle, and wish him a happy birthday, eventhough he isn't around anymore, he still lives in my heart !
For this layout i scrapped with Lien's new kit '' Special ''.. it has beautiful subtle elements and papers and really gorgeous wordarts.. i choose special dad.. (happy birthday is not included)
This is a beautiful LO and a beautiful story. I'm glad you were able to do that for your dad.
