for the card, maybe something about the coming year being a better one, or a year of "healing", recovering, growth, etc.
IDK but while you can't ignore her h's death and you could say something about his passing being a loss b/c of who he was to her, yet it IS a milestone in HER life and so, I guess you ought to try and steer it forward with some hope...??
Like one clause for him/past, and the next clause for the coming year. Just a thought.
Very good thoughts. I need to make sure it is NOT just a sympathy card. It is her birthday.
Sunny, those were very kind words, thank you very much. Like you said, there is no way to know what the future holds, but this is a learning experience. It has made me see myself and the world in a new way.
I came across a quote I really liked by Mark Twain the other day that I think fits well.
A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
