June 2nd is a day I will always remember, not because it's someone's birthday, or anniversary, or other special day one would want to celebrate. It's a day a young life was lost to a drunk driver.
She was the 2nd oldest daughter of a family that had attended our church for years.
We choose to remember the day to the family because we love them and know they will always remember too. Knowing others are continuing to stand with them while remembering their precious daughter helps them to heal and make some sort of sense out of a senseless situation. Amazingly, by God's grace, they are doing quite well.
These are this year's cards to the family.
The top one is for the mom and dad and children still at home. The bottom one is to the oldest daughter who was in the car at the time of the crash but survived. She was married last year, just one month after the first anniversary of her sister's death, so I felt it was appropriate to send her a card of her own.
Thank you to my SBS sister, Leslie, for sending me these perfect images with which to work!
May we all count our blessings, especially for the gift of life.
