for a special person......with love

I have spoken before about Laura, she was truly an amazing person who fought hard but sadly lost her fight against lung cancer in July, aged just 24....

She was way too young to die, and had way too many more things to do and so much more love to give.
Laura's family are setting up a charity in her name...Pink Mackenzie.

I made some scrapbook pages with some pictures of Laura to give to my lovely friend Bunty who is Laura's Aunt.
I didn't want to post pictures on here until I had delivered them to Bunty, but for one reason and another we didn't manage to get together till this evening.
We had a lovely meal with our Hubby's and I really enjoyed spending time with them.

This is the first scrap book page I ever made.
Emma helped me, both with the layout and with emotional support....
It was sad making these pages, but in a way it was almost like saying good bye to a lovely person I knew too briefly and only online and though her family. xx

I am very proud of these pages....
So here they are......








This one is for Bunty's daughter Nicola, who will miss her special cousin,
who she was very close to, spent family holidays with and loved like a sister and a best friend....

This one I am keeping....just sums up the fun that Laura and Rich shared in their love together.
It is really unfair they had so little time together, but they had more in thier short time than many couples have in relationships that last years......

There are many out there on blog land who are having difficult times,
heart broken over lost loved ones, worried about their own or loved ones health problems....
Life is hard and too often too short.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle



hippy hugs and love xxxx

Your pages are beautiful, poignant and touch a stranger so how it will touch the family and friends of a brave bright beautiful young woman I can only imagine.

I can's say much to add to your words and pictures; I especially love your last line...it is oh so true...I had a co-worker lost her battle with lung cancer at age 30 many years ago and it was so tragic..your pages and sentiments are from the heart..so beautiful
