For Kris

For Kris

I have thought and thought about this post. I have rewritten it a number of times, which can only say one thing...this is not easy. I found out Sunday night that one of our friends, Kris passed away at the age of 40. She had a debilitating stroke and didnt make it, leaving behind a husband, a 12 year old daughter and a 5 year old son.

Kris daughter was in my sons class and her son and my daughter went to daycare together. My husband actually went to high school with Kris and I remember the day I met her 6 years ago. Standing in line at my kids school she asked me if my husband went to Littleton HS. The first thing that popped into my head was "OH NO I hope this isnt an old girlfriend, how awkward will this be". Instead she said to my relief, we were in the same Choir class together and I remember him goofing off. (yep, thats my DH) I used to see Kris and the kids daily before we moved. My heart it breaking...for her husband and for her kids. They deserve to have her here with them.




A fundraiser has been put together to help with the kids education. While my kids will probably never have a college fund like many other families these days, at least my kids will have me to cheer them on while they work their way through school.

I am donating several items for this fundraiser in November, but thought I would also try to generate some funds over the next 3 weeks from the sales of this "Family Love" printable Subway Art collection. This printable collection is in honor of Kris and her family. Family meant a lot to Kris as she was not only a wife and a mother, she also worked for the last 16 years at an adoption agency helping over 600 couples adopt and complete their own families.
The collection contains a  8" x 10" printable as well as a sheet of 4 qty 3.75" x 5" printables to cut out and place on card fronts, like I have done here.



"Family Love" is now for sale in PS Harveys shop for only $5 (no shipping).  You can print this set as many times as you like (for personal use only please). Both a card set and the 8"x 10" print (framed) would be a wonderful gift for the upcoming holidays for both friends and family.

Thanks for hearing me out on this heart heavy post. Life is too short and oh so precious!

Many hugs,
Pam
