It is a lovely idea. When I get near the end, I sure hope I have the grace to be thinking of others like that.

Oh, that sounds impossibly difficult. I’m thinking of you.

It’s a lovely idea. But I’m sure it’s tough. All the spare good wishes and hugs I’ve got are headed your way.

oh, hon. i’m sorry.

one thing to keep in mind is that the cards can each say a lot of the same things. thank you for being my friend, for being there for me, you have been an important person in my life, i love you. i imagine that that is a lot of what he wants to tell people, or at least it’s a lot of what i hope that the people i love will know were i to be run over by a bus tomorrow.

Yeah, I opted for three different designs. One says, on the front, “Gratitude is the memory of the heart. - Jean Baptiste Massieu” and a simple “thank you” on the inside. One says “Nothing reaches the heart but what is from the heart. - William Penn” and “Thank you for your kindness.” And one I selected for my dad to give his closest friend is blank on the inside, but on the front says “To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed– this can make life a garden. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.” My dad told me the other day that he and his close friend can sit in a room and say one word and know what the other is thinking, so I got teary-eyed when I saw this card.

Sounds like a blank card with a calm picture is ideal. The whole thing is sad.
