I have been struggling with despair this week after having to admit my dear father to a nursing care home. He has vascular dementia, is nearly blind and is now at the great age of 92. Because of my own poor health I am wracked with guilt as I have been unable to visit him. He lives some 200 mile round trip from where my home is here in Cumbria. However although he cannot see, for years he has enjoyed the cards I make, and it is one of the ways I have of keeping in regular touch with him. I often make them with a 3D effect so that he can feel their raised designs. Both the image and the words are by Sparklensprinkle The words are so appropriate don't you think? If Dad could only see this he would know how much I love him.Thursday, 9 February 2012

Joan, I'm sure your father knows how much you love him and he can feel the card and feel your love also. Your card is gorgeous! BTW, I have your blog linked on my blog and I will try to visit you more often! Thanks for taking the time to go to all of the blogs for the SNS blog hop!
Joan, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Your card is just beautiful. Thank you for visiting our blogs.
This is such a beautiful card Joan. ... and yes, that saying is just perfect. I'm sure your Dad will feel the love with which it was made. I'm keeping you both in my prayers at this difficult time.
Joan, your card is gorgeous.I am sure your dad knows how much you love him, your cards speak volumes. I am truly sorry to hear about your dad. It is so heart wrenching when parents are so far away and we can't be there to see them more often. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. It was great to see you hopping in on the blog hop.
Joan, your card is just beautiful, as usual! So sorry to hear about your father, I know it's hard. My prayers are with you.
A really beautiful card.xxx Hugs Sharon.
OH Joan what a beautiful card for your father! Love how you used the fence punch...great backdrop for the beautiful hummingbird and flower. Your sentiment is wonderful. OH I know the heartache of distance but love spans those miles. You are in my prayers my friend!
