Wow...all those cards I MEANT to send... :oops:
After hearing the story about Jennifer and how all your cards meant so much to her in her final lucid days ("holding cards she received from Maine to California made her feel like she was getting hugged from coast to coast.") I printed out her address but never got around to making her a card in the rush of the holidays.
Listening to Nate Berkus on Oprah this morning and how he lost his partner Fernando in the tsunami (and barely survived himself). He said he would go to bed each night with a stack of cards from well-wishers and it was the only thing that made him feel comforted enough to fall asleep.
All the BRAKs I received last summer that still make me smile today.
Lesson learned: Never underestimate the power of a card and a "You're on my mind"!
My (belated) New Year's Resolution: send more RAKs. It does make a difference!
