PCW DT Challenge - All About Parents


Happy Tuesday and welcome to another challenge 
with the design team of Paper Crafting World  
Today's challenge is
 "All About Parents"
to honor them, welcome new parents, in memory of our parent(s)

I am honoring my 
Abuela (grandmother) Rosa
but I call her mama

She has endured much in her life
Once a vibrant, vocal and full of life
Fragile, quiet, and unsure of life

She took care of me
It's my turn to take care of her
going through dementia
starting not to remember who I am.....

Here she is holding my 
youngest daughter Kymora
4th Generation
