Hello My Friends
There are no words I could speak that would ease the pain my friend feels at the loss of her son. But I remember from when my mother passed away, how much I wanted to say thank you to all who had comforted me and shared in my sorrow at the time. So I realized I could give my friend at least one gift.
I spent today creating a couple of dozen thank you cards for her. (Thank heavens for my Stamparatus!) I will leave them in her mailbox tomorrow. So that over these coming days, she has them handy for when she wants to let someone know she appreciates their support. It is a little thing. But the only thing I can offer right now (especially since in these COVID times I cannot even just go over there to comfort her in person!)
Forever Fern makes gorgeous cards. And when the inside of the card coordinates with the outside, and both sides of the envelope have that extra bit of coordinating flair - well, I hope she knows that these were made with love for her. Insufficient to even barely bandage the raw pain she must feel. But at least it is something.
Take care my friends. Enjoy the coming week. And take every opportunity to smile and share laughter with those you care about.
God Bless you all, Cynthia <><

I agree the detail in the Forever Fern stamp set is simply stunning, and you've done a beautiful job with it both inside and out and on your matching envelopes. Having a tool like the Stamperatus simply makes life better in the multiples world. Your friend will totally appreciate these beautiful cards and your expression of caring Cynthia. One feels so helpless in these situations, but by thinking ahead and to your friend's needs you're really helping her out. Take care Cynthia in such trying times.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Penny - I was able to bring a small bit of joy to my friend and she appreciated the gift of Thank You cards. Inadequate and helpless - good words to describe watching someone experience this kind of loss.
