Sealed. No date.

Front of card:

If you care for someone

give them aways

A safe place to cry

and never a reason

to need it.

-- Kevin Lahvic

Inside left:

Nothing is so strong as gentleness,

nothing as gentle as real strength.

 — Saint Francis De Sales

Inside right...

Don't Forget,

Whatever Happens,

I

Love

You,

David

Damn, what a double-edged sword that discovery must have been. Elation at finding a treasure that speaks so much of his love for you, and an unavoidably painful reminder of your loss.

I'm glad that you found that card today, and that it spoke to you with expressions of true love.

Big hugs to you, bud.

That made me cry.

I've been unable to look at it and not cry, then, it's very difficult to stop

oh. man.

*hugs*

This made me cry, too.

But, as teddybtoronto said, I'm glad you found it and have another tendril back to him...

That's sweet.

Instantly teared up here. Beautiful and devastating.

That made me cry, but it is also a beautiful thing.

I cannot take your pain away, but can only sit with you in spirit and mourn. I too began to cry when I read this.

Still, I find comfort in knowing how much he loved you, unconditionally and to hear it in his words, once again, is a blessing.

Hugs to you...
