Every year, on this day, I think about a very special person. My high school sweetheart, Scott, was born this day 40 years ago. We dated for 7 years, kept each other out of a lot of trouble, and were just the best of friends. Although we took different directions in our lives after I moved to Texas, he and his family have always remained in my heart. Scott and I never kept in touch much after we both married our spouses, but I have always sent a Thanksgiving card to his parents to let them know that I still think about them all.
Unfortunately, Scott lost a battle with cancer and passed away when he was only 35. It was a heart-wrenching funeral for me... and even writing this brings tears to my eyes.
So once again, I will send the card. I will let them know how much they all mean to me... I hope Scott knows too.

What a lovely card and such a thoughtful thing to do!
He must have been an amazing person. I'm sure his parents truly appreciate your card every year.
Heartfelt. I'm sure there are many others out there that can identify with this sort of event. I know I can. Thanks for sharing.
The card is fabulous, as usual, and knowing the story behind it makes it even better.
Love,
