Heaven Sent Greeting Card

David died recently, taken by cancer very quickly. The morning after his passing David's wife called me with the sad news. I felt so disappointed that I had not visited him in hospital before his untimely death.

We had become friends through our Greeting Card Home Based Business. David had let me know a few weeks ago that he was told he only had months to live and that he needed to put his affairs in order. Months! - I took for granted the preciousness of our limited time and found it was weeks not months for my greeting card sending friend and I missed him.

Later in the day I had to go into the city for a meeting. I walked to the ferry, stopping at the Post Office to pick up my PO Box mail. I grabbed the bunch of mail, stuffed it into my bag and headed to the wharf to board the ferry to the city.

Opening my bag, I took out my mail and found a misdirected piece of mail (meant for another mail box) amongst my letters. It was a greeting card front, (exact dimensions of our own greeting cards) with the picture of a tunnel showing light at the end. The words ?The light at the end of the tunnel? printed boldly across the top.

How magical that this mail-room mistake happened the very morning after David's passing? For me a clear sign that David had made it to the light. In my mind I see David in heaven and he has even managed to send me a card with the exciting news that he's arrived safe and sound there! Truly a Heaven Sent Greeting Card
