In Our Thoughts and Prayers...

This card is another request from my sister...

Very sad story...

A co worker's small child is in the hospital

recovering,

from falling in a pool...

My heart sank when she told me the story...

This card is also a first for me.

I have never had to make or give a card for a moment like this.

I was very nervous...

The last thing I wanted to do was to cause the family distress...

I know it sounds weird, 

but the child is a boy, so all the regular soft blues are out...

I didn't want to remind them of the pool...

So I colored the image and I left it...

Then I thought, what is softer than blue?

and does not invoke any feelings one way or the other???

Then I saw it... Grey...

I love grey...

and I hope it will bring them comfort...
