Cards...

Since a very close friend of mine is leaving next week I decided to get her a card. I  think that a card is a signature of your appreciation towards a person that you respect and admire. I always like to show my friends how much I care for them by choosing a card that best describes how I feel and how I want them to feel about whatever the case may be, I always think that showing people what they mean to me is always nice and affective. it will prove to them just how much I care. Anyways, as I was browsing for the perfect card this afternoon I thought to myself “ amazing! for every occasion there is a card” So I guess there should be no excuse for us to ignore the people that we love, I think the least we can do is buy a card especially if that person is far away from home, I don’t know why I like buying cards, maybe because I could really express how I feel toward anyone by just giving a card to a certain person. When I was young, I use to create cards and give them out to my friends for their birthdays or for just thanking them cause they did something that I was grateful for, I think it is the best way to thank someone. The best card that I did was the one I did for my mom when I was just 11 years old, I remember that day as if it was yesterday, it was mother’s day and my mom was away cause she was sick, I wanted to give her something that she can keep forever, so I made her a card and here is what I said to her “ mammy I love you and I want your pain to go away, I know that god will be with you cause you are the best mom and all of us here are missing you and wishing you a happy mother’s day, mammy you are the best mama in this whole entire world” . I actually forgot about this card until a month before mama passed away she gave it to me and she told me that she kept it with her all the time and that she wants me to keep it with me cause she thought that it will somehow bring me luck, I still have it, and every time I look at it, it brings tears to my eyes cause it reminds me of so many things and most importantly it reminds me of how much I love and miss mama.
