24 Years

Mister Handmade in Israel and I "celebrated" our 24th wedding anniversary back in June 2022. I say "celebrated". It was a horrible day. We had not long lost our youngest son Gadi and were not in the mood for celebrating at all. But I had already made this card for my other half and decided to give it to him anyway. He is a big fan of my papercut art and I try and come up with a new design for him each year. Apparently the traditional 24th anniversary colour and flower is lavender, a bloom that represents calmness, serenity and healing. I lined the card with a lavender-coloured paper inlay.
We have since celebrated 25 years but there was no card made for that day. Perhaps I will decide to make Mister Handmade in Israel anniversary cards again one day. Who knows? Even though a silver wedding anniversary is a significant milestone in every couple's life, it is so very hard to think of the good times at the moment.
