1971 -- shores of Lake Superior

oh my, this grabbed me, and I don't know you, but I really gasped when I read that he had died...and how much more precious this memory thru a photograph is...

thank you so much for sharing this...it is truly beautiful

This layout is just lovely. Karen

This layout is a stunner! It is absolutely wonderful... I love the colors in the photo and you blended the words in very nicely- that can be very difficult to do when the color changes underneath the text.

Beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is so beautiful. Wonderful LO!

This is gorgeous. I love what you did with the song and the photo. What a great memory of you and your brother. I hope this helped bring you a little peace. Hugs.

Awe What everyone else has said and I just love what you have done! Such a great memory and so well scrapped!

It may be a LO you don't do often but it is extremely profound! It's beautiful, Bobbi! May you find the peace you long for.

What a wonderful memory to keep.

Your LO and the tragic story behind it that you shared with us really touched my heart. I look at the two of you on the beach enjoying the moment and each other, and then read the words to the song. How perfectly you put this together, and I am so glad that it has brought your emotions to the surface to spill out from that dark place we hide things within. Maybe now you can truly start to heal, always missing him, but centering your thoughts on the things you shared and the love you felt for him.

 

That picture is a treasure. At the age at least, you two look so much alike—almost like twins.

 

Wishing you love, peace, and happiness.

Bobbi, this is beautiful. I can feel the emotion and love you put into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Lovely layout for a great memory. The simplicity is just right. Hugs to you.

I hope this was healing for you. It is a beautiful LO and sentiment.

This is beautiful, Bobbi! Thanks for sharing.

You did a beautiful job.

What a great picture.

This is just beautiful - glad that you can focus on the good memories.

This is just beautiful Bobbi. It gave me goose bumps for you looking at it and reading the lyrics. I am glad it gave you something more than a scrapbook page. Thank you for sharing it.

Gorgeous....absolutely gorgeous. What a wonderful way to memorialize your brother and a great way to remember younger, happier days. I do hope you print this out and frame it. It's worthy of hanging in a special place. (Micheal's craft store sells 12x12 album frames that are perfect for layouts.) You did a great job on this.

Fantastic LO Bobbi Jo. I think it's stunning artistically withe the photo treatment and the lyrics. The picture with him walk out of the photo before you is very significant to me. And I can see how that lyric would catch you. I'm so glad you were able to tap in to something through this process. May you find healing and rest in that part of your heart some time.

Bobbi Jo - this is beautiful. The photo, the action, the words and the history behind it. I'm glad to hear that this was cathartic - sometimes things are better out than in!!

Beautiful Bobbi Jo, and this moved me tremendously.

Thank you for posting this Bobby...

 

Now I know I need to scrap my brother soon.... I needed this... beautiful thots.

oh Bobbi Jo, this is just beautiful and very very touching. I know your pain and I send you much love

very stunning, thank you for sharing your brother with us. i hope you keep pulling out photos and scrap for therapy!
