When my husband died I received countless cards from friends and loved ones, and some from family I barely knew -- or friends of his that I'd never met. I didn't want to throw them all away, but quite frankly they were a little sad and somewhat creepy to keep around.
So I found a pretty blank journal, glued a picture of my husband to the inside cover, wrote the words: In loving memory -- Robert Joseph Gomes-Pereira, August 17, 2000, and then copied out my favorite greeting card poetry and/or comments that were written within the cards into my new journal.
That way I had one place to look through for inspiration and love whenever I needed it and I didn't have hundreds of loose cards lying around.
