The journalling reads: "On being Mum. I never thought I would be a perfect Mother. But I did think I would do a better job than I am doing at the moment. I used to be calm. I used to be encouraging. I couldn't get enough of you. I'm not sure when it happened but at some point in the last two years I lost all patience. I am too quick to anger. I don't give you the time you need. I am not positive enough. I say things I regret every day but I am too stubborn to back down and apologise. You are so strong. We clash constantly. I cry with frustration all the time. And I cry with fear. I am so scared that you will grow up remembering only our conflicts. Remembering only these last years that we have struggled together for control. I hope you remember too the intense love I feel for you. I will show it more. I hope you remember how proud I am of everything you do. I will tell you all the time. I hope you remember all the fun we have together. I will make more time for you. Because I love you. With all my heart."

Wow - are the words by you? Cause I think all mothers can relate to them - after all we are only human and we do get tested to the limits!
Beautiful scrap-booking - you are very clever.
cheers
