Journey of your Life

by blbabe1234Jan 19, 2026
*Music Challenge*
*Prompt #26 - use a clock*

I'm a huge George Strait fan, and his songs are on a variety of my playlists. He dropped a new single on the radio back in early December called "Journey of your Life". It's a beautiful song and it spoke to me. On December 5th, my Papa passed away at the age of 93. After all the phone calls, this song came on the radio. I admit, I cried. I just couldn't get passed the last lyric - I'll be the angel flyin' by your side. The whole song describes Papa to a "T". The way he lived life, how he treated others. He was the strongest man in the world with the biggest heart.

When Barb posted this month's music challenge, I knew exactly what song I'd use. Took about a week to find the perfect photos. Papa holding me; Papa holding me and my brother in 1985; and the last 'selfie' we took at Thanksgiving 2022. I spent about a week mulling the design around in my head. I knew I wanted to use a couple lyrics that were meaningful to me:

Ride the wind 'til we meet again
on the other side of life...

You'll need to laugh alot
and keep it light...

May the simple things be amazin'...

Brandy, this is beautiful, touching, and such a wonderful tribute to your sweet Papa. I know how much he meant to you and I know this could not have been easy. You did an amazing job. The photos of the younger years and the last selfie of you and him together are perfect. The lyrics, the beautiful pieces of ephemera, the little photo corners and the way you did your title… all wonderfully done. Beautiful page documenting your cherished memories of him. So many, many, many ((hugs)). Thanks for doing my challenge.
