It is hard to write this one, I try to make all my cards ahead of time, like a month ahead of time if I can, because I never know if things are going to get busy and I won't make it into my craft room, or other things come up that I want to make a card for get well, thinking of you ect. Well I had just finished making this card for my brother when I got the news that he was going into Hospice care. I thought about sending it very early but then I told myself hang on wait you never know what God's plans are. Then as time got closer to his passing my mind was on that and not on his card.
After I got home from his funeral and was getting around cards to send out, I realized that I still had his birthday card. I finally decided that I could not send this to anyone else and as I hadn't written inside it yet I decided to send it to my Sister in law and wrote a note inside to her.

I am so very sorry to hear of your brother's passing, Connie. My condolences.
I think it is wonderful that you sent the card to your sister-in-law.
God bless you and keep you.
I know this was hard on you to find the card. What a great idea to send to your SIL. I know she appreciates it. It is such a nice card.
I'm sure it was difficult to see this card as you came across it again, but I think sending it to your sister in law would comfort you both at this difficult time. I think you make it no secret how you feel about your family....he knew! (((hugs))) It is quite a lovely card too! xo~
So hard and sad to deal with Connie but it is a fabulous card, love the design and colours and I'm sure you will find the right person who will love and care for it for their birthday..

I'm sure this was a difficult post to write. I think sending this card to your sister-in-law was so touching and thoughtful of you. I'm sure she appreciates knowing how much you love her and are thinking of her.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother, but it's a good feeling to know that HE knew you loved him before he passed. I think sending this card to his widow is a great idea because now the card can be treasured by his family forever. wishing you brighter days ahead as you face life without your brother.
I'm sure this was a difficult post to write. I can understand your indecision in whether to send it or not, but he for sure knew how much you loved him and how special he was to you. It's sweet of you to send it to to your sister-in-law and I know she'll appreciate it. The sentiment is lovely.
