Cathy, 500 cards! That is amazing! I’m so glad to hear you had so much love and support. A card can do so much.

During my 8 month treatment for breast cancer, I received just over 500 cards. I looked forward each and every day to what came in the mail. My teenage son would bring me the mail and say “have fun, Mom”. It was the highlight of each day…no particular card, just cards in general. I loved getting each and every one…they meant so much to me. Cards help lift spirits and cards heal. I hope in this day of social networking, we don’t forget to send cards or hand written notes.

My mom had saved boxes of cards I had gotten as a teen and I just went through them during my last trip to El Salvador…oh, the memories! I tend to not keep too many things, but I will definitely keep my girl´s cards!

They are great! I love to save the cards too! I sometimes wonder if I shouldn’t you know? So much paper! But I can’t throw them away and to see some cards that I did as a kid now for me is always priceless.

Oh wow! It’s so hard to let go of these cards, letter, and other mementos! I know it has to be done, because otherwise I’d have bins and bins of memory keepsakes, but it’s hard!

So, so sweet! I’ve tried to save every card my four children have received over the years and just recently pulled some of them out…okay, I was cleaning the hutch and found a HUGE batch stuffed inside…and, I have to tell you, it was a bittersweet moment. Touching a card handwritten by my grandmother…priceless.
