A Day Of Emotion...

Today is a day of emotions and sadness, a very dear good friend of mine lost her mother to cancer on Friday, she had been battling it for quite sometime and we all know she is in a better place where there is no longer any pain. But no matter how much we try to prepare for it, it still hurts deeply when death finally succeeds. I understand what she is going through as my mother has been gone for 17 years and today it just opened up the flood of emotions of missing her after receiving the message that Steph's mom had passed. I have had some cards made for quite sometime and just have not posted them and felt today would be a good day as my creativeness is not here as all I can do is think about Steph. This card was suupose o be submitted for a Verve Challenge, but I was not real pleased with it so I didn't place it in the Mojo Monday Challege. But it could be used for "Just A Because" card or encouragement as well. Anyway thanks for looking and vsiting my blog today.

Deborah I am so sorry to hear of your friend's loss. It is so hard to lose a mom. I lost mine almost 3years back. Like you said you know they are better off but not to have them here and with you is a continued heartache. My prayers and thoughts are with your dear friend. Your card will sure to bring her comfort. It is gorgeous, I love how you stamped on both panels. Try to enjoy the rest of your weekend, I know its hard.Big Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear that. My husband and I lost 3 people very close to us within 6 weeks just before Thanksgiving 2 years ago. One was his mom, one his grandma. We knew with both of them as the family had to decide what to do. It is never easy, regardless of the time you have to prepare. There is no preparing to say good-bye to someone so loved. Your card is beautiful, though, and I am sure it was appreciated.
