This card is a little special to me because I made it for a friend’s child who was bullied at school. The short story is that some girls wrote ugly things in his yearbook and my guess is kept others from writing in it at all. Of course, he was devastated and came home crying. It is shocking to know this still happens. And these are young kids, not high school age. I felt terribly upset about it from the moment I heard about it. I just wonder when this will end. But I have to say his Mother took things in hand by asking friends to send messages by mail so she can put them in his yearbook. She reached out to everyone on Facebook and I have to really applaud her actions. People started posting lots of positive messages for Noah and with all the Facebook attention, he cheered up and happily posed with a “Thank You” sign for everyone!
So, of course I had to make a card for my message for Noah. I chose Marquee Messages because the sentiment is perfect and just what I wanted to say. I added more bling than I normally would, but it seemed to match the feeling on this card and the age of the young man. I am just happy to have seen so many people rally around this really great little guy and hopefully make him forget what happened. On Saturday, I saw that his Mother posted a wonderful image of Noah and his brother playing in the sand at Hallendale Beach. It was good to see him smiling!
I believe in the power of sending a handmade card to someone. I just wish I would do it more!
Love the thought behind it, love the sentiment and love the card! So nice to start my day with the ‘warm fuzzies’!
It is nice! Thanks Jo!
Susan this is the perfect card for mending a broken spirit. Thank you for being such a good friend to everyone you know.
A www, thanks Jayne!
What a great and special card! It’s sad how mean children can be, but they must have learned that from somewhere. Glad Noah has a brilliant Mom that knows how to build her sons confidence and so many warm and caring friends that were willing to help this boy.
I agree! Hopefully this will stop some day.
Great card Susan! Hopefully his mom will frame it to put it in his room to remind him that he is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing.
He really is. Thank you.
