This card is for Mr. Black,
who is going through a rough patch. He is a car aficionado, and I've had
this IO stamp for AGES, so it seemed like a good match. Growing up on a
dairy farm, trucks like this were common. Rusted to the bone but more
dependable than any car I've owned in my life!! Even though I might have
to pop the clutch to get it started (while being towed along by a
tractor) and learning to shift 'three on a tree' was significantly more
complicated than 'four on the floor', (though not as ruinous to our
culture as the evil automatic) it makes me pine for days past. I'm
pretty sure Mr. Black feels the same way. Inside, there's a "Wishing you
a speedy recovery...Get Well Soon!" which I HOPE qualifies for an
uplifting message. If that doesn't cut it, here's what I wrote: "While
we don't know each other, I understand a lot of what you're going
through with your health issues. But remember, old trucks may get rusty,
but they're more useful and dependable than ANY of today's models! So
know that, despite the hard days, you are more valuable and necessary to
those who love you, with each passing day!" I hope it helps. :) |
