ever noticed how the right cards just don't exist for certain life occasions?
years ago, for example, my best childhood buddy sent me a card as a joke. it said, "happy barmitzvah to my favorite god-child." now that's specific.
case in point, this summer i couldn't find a greeting for a friend that said, "way to go for selflessly serving your mother after her hip surgery while you're teaching full time and being a wife and mother". and yet millions of faithful daughters do this every day.
(maybe the catch-all is what the "blank" card sections are supposed to be for. hmm.)
and just this week, i canceled with my insurance company of over twenty years. it was like breaking up. so i thought maybe there should be a line of cards, one for the old company, "thank you for your past, albeit expensive, service" and one for the new company, "will you go out with me?"
what card would you design?
"since i'm likely to say something that is stupid and hurtful and come straight out of my complete cluelessness about what might be helpful i think i'll let the image on this card speak for itself."
ReplyDeleteyou, of all people, have nothing to worry about in this regard. and it would make a great card!
