With you and your husband to anchor him, however, he will find all the encouragement and support he needs to guide him along his path. He'll be okay; this I believe! I'm feeling the same 'concern' for my niece; even at age 5 some of life's truths are beginning to make their appearance. Your card couldn't be any more perfect to offer him hope. His resilience will see him go far...<br />~ccmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271728128527290221.post-61353963503813280722015-07-29T14:14:58.380-06:002015-07-29T14:14:58.380-06:00So very cool and trendy :)So very cool and trendy :)Deeptihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234326634594847786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271728128527290221.post-80748290454075034582015-07-29T05:16:11.142-06:002015-07-29T05:16:11.142-06:00What a gorgeous feel your card has with the warm c...What a gorgeous feel your card has with the warm colours you've used!Narelle Farrugiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744141281750659992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271728128527290221.post-90771159066402528332015-07-26T19:52:02.166-06:002015-07-26T19:52:02.166-06:00This is such a fabulous card!

I could not believe what I was hearing and sadly 30+ years later I've heard the same sort of thing many times since. Your words of encouragement are just the thing to let your son know that he can be strong as he navigates his way through adulthood! And P.S. I'm loving this card. The way this sentiment stands out is fantastic!

Having you there for him - knowing that you are always there for him - is the best armor he has going forward!!

I guess sometimes I am too honest about life being tough and that sometimes you have to do a job you don't love to get by in the world. Life is not EASY but it is what YOU make of it. I tell her to try to pick one positive each day, even if it was crummy in general. <br /><br />I LOVE your card. You are right-that SU! stamp is so cool. I want it now!! Love how you stamped it in the gray. That sentiment is fabulous too. Here is hoping that your son finds people that are able to show a positive influence on his career.
