It’s so hard trying to send “get well” or “thinking of you” cards to friends who are extremely ill.  I never know exactly the right sentiment to put on the front or inside of my cards and wish I could find a line of sentiments made for terminally ill friends.  I guess I’ve hit an age where I’m losing more and more friends (we’ve already lost both sets of parents) and am so sad that the only cards I really need to send are to those friends.  It’s been a difficult year for us as we have lost one friend and just lost the wife of another.  We have three more friends who are very ill and haven’t heard any good news for them as well.

I am really happy that I have the fall and Halloween season to look forward to as it gives me something good to focus on that doesn’t make me sad.  I’m hoping I can hold off on any more sympathy cards for a while as we’ve lost enough friends and family and it would be great to focus on the upcoming holidays instead.
