Card of Hope

Sometimes we have to make cards for things that aren't so happy... My Mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and I wanted to make her a card... In PINK!! This got me thinking, that I should really be making more cards to donate to hospitals, send to troops, and just to drop in on someone fighting any one of lifes many battles... We all remember to send out cards for the happy events in life, but we shouldn't forget to let someone know when we appreciate them or miss them, or just to let them know we are thinking about them, wishing them well, or praying for them...This is the card that might mean the most to them, after all we all like a little fun mail any day of the year :)
