The Firsts Can Be Their Own Kind of Hard.
Your $15.00 covers all of it
- The card itself, a fold-open 5 x 7 on heavy stock
- Your words written inside in real ink, in the handwriting style you pick
- The envelope, addressed for you, and the US stamp on it
- Mailed straight to their mailbox, so there is no shipping to add at checkout
The first holiday without someone has a way of being its own particular kind of hard, even when you thought you had already braced yourself for it. Every tradition suddenly has an empty space in it, and there is no real way to prepare for how loud that absence can feel at a table or around a tree. Whatever you are feeling this season, missing them or dreading the day, all of it is allowed here. I am holding space for every feeling this season, right alongside you.
Fold-open card, 5 x 7 in. Your message is written on the inside in real ink, and it arrives in its own stamped envelope.
