The keepsake box for Clare is very special and Im sure a treasure for her! Your talent is amazing and a great encouragement to the rest of us!

You have shared a truly beautiful and very personal story with us and I'd like to thank you for your trust in us. It is true that in blog land we meet some of the finest friends, even though we've never met in "real life", but that doesn't mean that these friendships aren't real, because they are. The box you've created for Clare is truly a very precious keepsake, this will remind her of all that you've done for her and how much you mean to her. Even though she no longer lives under the same roof anymore, I'm sure that she will thank you for becoming the young woman she is today, thanks to your efforts. After all, it has been YOU Kirsty that has provided your girls with all the tools they need for this life.

I then read on and was so moved by your openess and honesty, what a story. You should be so proud of your beautiful daughters and their achievements, but also of yourself as you were the one who made the sacrifices for them to attain their dreams.Thank you for sharing a part of your personal life with us(~)Karen Noonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902378288827593811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539079772650255450.post-13781716465686329992011-09-27T01:46:29.847-04:002011-09-27T01:46:29.847-04:00I've been thinking what to write.

Sometimes, we have to let them go and be independent as they grow older. Let them be independent and once they are, they will come back to take care of you later. It is just a matter of distance away, but they truly still love you.<br />Understand that your care of them, has made this layout truly a beautiful one. I love every single detail even the little ones, are so relevant and cute to this layout.<br />Be strong and you shld be proud of your children that they are at this stage now.Janetcrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038531497980474964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539079772650255450.post-72530602564978884592011-09-26T17:14:49.349-04:002011-09-26T17:14:49.349-04:00Thanks for sharing your story of you and your girl...Thanks for sharing your story of you and your girls.

My oldest left Texas and went thousands of miles away to college in California 2 years ago. I cried almost daily when she first left. It has gotten easier and we visit her often. You raised her to be a wonderful young woman. You are a strong mother and I applaud you for raising two wonderful daughters. Hugs to you my friend. :)Angi Barrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722979392082516909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539079772650255450.post-31711277549256596512011-09-26T09:15:19.883-04:002011-09-26T09:15:19.883-04:00You definitely have me misting up here Kirsty.

But you were doing what any parent would do for a hugely talented and gifted child, and it's a pleasure to pop by your blog and see your wonderful creations.
