Caring.... for a Man

Today I wanted to share the card I made for my father-in-law who recently lost his sister. I always seem to use "earthy" tones when it comes to making a card for a man and this was no exception. You all know how much I love the seahorse stamp in Gina K's Eclectic Summer set so it should come as no surprise I chose him again when making this card. My kids found my tiny box of seashells that I had bought some time ago and I thought they were perfect to compliment this card. Jake, my father-in-law, loves fishing, hunting, walking and just being outside so I knew he'd like anything dealing with water, sea life. He's also a very content and happy person and I just thought the relaxing look of the seahorse and seashells would fit him perfectly. He never seems to ask for much and honestly.. I don't know that I've ever felt more than respected and loved by a nicer person. I, in turn, feel very happy and lucky that HE is my father-in-law. I am blessed by having him in my life. He has the greatest smile and little chuckle of a laugh that just makes MY heart smile. I hope he knew how sorry I was for his loss and that I care very deeply for him as well. He's been going through a lot and I pray God will watch over him and keep him smiling for a long long time.
