There was a challenge at SIS for your favorite layouts of 2008.

Thanks to all of you

Thank you all so much for the sweet and heartwarming messages, e-mails and all the prayers you did for Jordi. It really means a lot to us.

He's having a hard time now but he is still so positive. He has to go back to the hospital every day and did not complain at all.
I'm so so proud of him!!!!

Here is a little poem in Dutch:

Ik wens je...
groei en vorm en geur,
bladen, knop en bloem,
zomaar ontdekt of
door jouw zorg gegroeid,
mooi, dierbaar,
uniek.
Leven dat na de winter terugkeert.

And here is a happy photo I took the other day.

Jordi

This one is very hard for me.

My son had a accident with some firework and had to stay at the hospital.
They operate him but could not save his hand and amputate the most part of his hand and three fingers.
So very horrible for a 14 year old boy.

Last friday he came home from the hospital and we had a little party for him.
We are so thankful that he is still with us.
I'm so proud of him!!!! We have a long way to go but I know he is going to make it. He is so strong and positive.

The journaling is personal and on the back of the layout.
