Sing

Earlier this month I shared with you this card that I made for our friend Ron who had surgery and was in the hospital.  Well, that poor guy is still in the hospital following some unexpected complications and two more surgeries.  I'm sending him another card, but first I created this card to send to his wife, Jackie.  She is one of my mom's closest friends and she's been pretty open about how stressful the situation has been.

Sometimes we forget that when someone has a protracted illness or hospital stay, it takes a toll on the family, too.  My mom and I experienced this first-hand after my dad was diagnosed with cancer.  So I wanted to let Jackie know that we are thinking of her and sending our love and support.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but sometimes a simple little boost like that can help a friend make it through a tough day.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!
