The card Sonny gave me had the most beautiful verse, I just have to share it. We always tease him that he doesn't really read cards all the way through but I know he read this one before he bought it!
Once there was this guy; A nice guy, really.
And he met this girl. An incredible girl - truly amazing.
So naturally the guy falls head over heels in love with her,
and pretty soon they're picking out china patterns and rings
and there's a weding and the starry-eyed couple rides off into what will surely be a rosy future.
(open card)
Okay, so now some time has passed and the guy is living in that future.
He's still married to this girl, but now their life includes a lot of stuff -
appliances and bills and loads of laundry and home repair projects.
But between all the to-dos and have-tos, there are these moments
when the guy stops for a minute and looks around him.
(open card)
He looks at his wife, who is still truly amazing,
he looks at their life together, all the ways and different directions it's grown,
he looks at all the responsibilities he's got, and he thinks to himself, so, this is my life.
And then he thinks,
I am one helluva lucky guy.
And then I got a great one from my daughter although it killed her to have to buy a card. Her stamping supplies are in storage still so she wasn't able to make me a card. But she found a great one that says it all about our relationship!
Happy Birthday to my go-everywhere, do-everything, tell-each-other-anything ...
couldn't-be-a-better, always-and-forever friend to the end.
I got some beautiful cards from my friends and family and I want to share the stamped ones with you.
