This card is for Robin to help her go to her happy place. My husband of 26 years passed away from a freak accident 9 years ago. He fell and hit the bottom of the shower, bruised his spinal cord, was paralyzed on one side, threw a blood clot 2 weeks in to physical therapy and died at my feet. Sometimes life gets crazy.

Oh, Shelly, how sad and you're right - a freak accident. We just never know - we need to appreciate each and every day with our family and friends. Your image is gorgeous - as is your card!

Nice card! Great image. I like the one-color image w/the beautiful blue water. Though it comes late, condolences on the loss of your husband. My husband passed away 3-1/2 yrs ago. I still miss him every day.

When something like this happens, it is so hard to understand, yet in sharing it with the sisters who have experienced something similar here, it can divide the grief. Sorry for your loss, as well, Shelly, I understand - my DH too - but how beautiful to see how we can all come alongside to lift each other up! Your card is a soothing picture and sentiment that will help to mend Robin's heart! Hugs to you, Robin, and any other sister who has gone through something like this too!

Fabulous quote, and a lovely card. Gosh, Shelly, I never knew that story about your husband before. All I know is that when we've been through tough times, whatever they are for each one of us, it gives us more understanding for other people in similar situations. We can all have sympathy, but you only have a real understanding when you've been there too.
