<p><em>&#8220;My sister has been struggling to take care of herself and her family through her son&#8217;s illness over the past two years.  What else can I do to show her that I am here for her?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;My cousin just lost her daughter to a rare disease and regular greeting cards seem wrong.  But I want to send something to show my support.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">If you have had thoughts like these, you are going to love these cards.  As a caregiver myself, I had tears running down my face when I read these cards from Solace Creek.  The speak from the heart as the founders, Mary and Mark Peters, have together endured the diagnosis and ongoing treatment of Cystic Fibrosis in the youngest of their four children, and of stage-3 Breast Cancer in Mary.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">I&#8217;ve post two below to give you an idea of what they are like, but you can visit the website directly to see more cards and gift ideas.  <a href="http://solacecreek.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Click here</a> to be directed to the Solace Creek website.</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><strong>Front:</strong> For surely you did not choose this battle ~ Rather it chose you</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><strong>Inside:</strong> Inspired by your warrior spirit ~ I am here for you ~ Ready to fight at your side</span></em></p>
