17/365 Cherish

Chances are if you have gotten me a card from the time I was a young teenager up until now, I still have it. My husband recently made comment about why I save all these cards and wonders what I will ever do with them. The answer? Nothing. So, it got me thinking... Why do I save every card? Well, after some thought I realized why, because of my Mom. 

My Mom loves picking out the perfect card for someone. She spends a fare amount of time looking at cards and will even buy cards months in advance if it happens to be suitable for a family member for friends. She saves all of these new cards and even if she ends up forgetting about them, she will still go to the store and look for another perfect card for the special occasion. 

Simply put, if someone if going to take the time to pick out a perfect card, for a special occasion, for me and then put thought into what they write in it and mail it to me (which. lets admit is rare these days) I can will cherish it, always.

These are just a small handful I had handy for the photo.
