Your friend is an amazing man, able to carry on after two significant losses in his life. I lost a friend, several years ago, to a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan; he fell victim to a roadside bomb. Anyway...thank you for sharing the depth of your emotions as you crafted. The tenderness at the essence of what you felt has been infused into the card. He will love it, just as we love it. Peace on earth...I pray for that, too.<br />~c cmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271728128527290221.post-7966050628903478842015-11-27T09:15:33.666-07:002015-11-27T09:15:33.666-07:00Great card, Kim, and a lovely story to go with it....Great card, Kim, and a lovely story to go with it.
