There is an attorney I work with on occasion that has a bark much worse than his bite. You know the kind. Gruff, never a smile, a hard shell but soft inside. We like to call him "Sunshine".
He's in his seventies and I noticed lately that he's been dropping a lot of weight and walking much slower than usual. I asked him if he was OK and he assured me he had just "hurt his back". Didn't explain the weight loss but it was as much as I was going to get.
It turns out that he has a malignant brain tumor and had surgery to remove it last week.
This card is for "Sunshine".

How nice of you to create such a beautifil card that is sure to touch him in the right place and spur on his recovery process. It also says he has a freind that cares about him.

The right of way, being right or turning right.
Just smile as you turn left every now and then (just for drill).

What a lovely show of concern for him. I've worked with that type and for as gruff as they are on the outside, they truly do appreciate it when someone takes the time to touch their lives. Good for you, I'm sure it will "melt him" a bit on the inside, even if he doesn't show it on the outside.

Thanks for sharing the story about this lovely man, Sunshine. What a beautiful card - and I love the way you weaved the patterned paper through the cuts in the topper.
