Just Because

Today I called for someone at work and instead of getting the person I called for I talked to another work friend of mine.   It's been awhile since I talked with her.   Last year her husband passed away of a terminal illness so of course she went through a tough time.  Today's conversation was fun and pleasant.   I just didn't want to ask "So, how are you really?" but I was thinking it.  I decided that I wanted to send her a card and just let her know that I recognize it's probably still tough adjustment and just because I didn't bring it up didn't mean I wasn't thinking of her.   Sometimes at work difficult situations seem so much more complicated to talk about but it's still "life" ... KWIM?   So this is for Debbie and it's really "just because".   This sketch came from SCS Verve Challenge for this week. 

Supplies:  All A*Muse Studio - Paper Gingham & Shimmer Damask Lime,  French Roast Shimmer,  Latte Woodgrain,  Stamps Just Because,  Papillion,   Ink French Roast, Lime, Fern,  Lime Satin Ribbon, Just Blooms Flowers,  Green Assrtmt Buttons,  Pearls Sugar

    The card is wonderful and the thoughts behind it are the best! I think you're exactly right in realizing that this is a tough time period.The world seems to think you should be 'done' grieving, and in reality the shock is sometimes just wearing off. She'll appreciate it, I'm sure.
