Occasion: In sympathy
A childhood friend of my family's passed away in a car accident on campus last week. It was strange to learn that it was Brad, someone my sisters and I met through play dates some 17 years ago. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
In some ways, this card feels like what comedian Mike Birbiglia said about sympathy cards--that it is ridiculous to think that an image of a daffodil can somehow make up for such a great loss. But, on the other side of that, all we really can do is let the family know they are in our thoughts--and they are, and will continue to be. I hope that they may all find peace some day.
