"The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born?
Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think
about these once in a while, and watch your answers change."
— Richard Bach (1936- ), American author, in `Illusions,'
1977
And here is yet another question I wish to pose because I just recently had to come up with an answer myself. I learned a few weeks ago that one of our office managers has terminal cancer that has progressed and she now has only a few months. Everyone in the office got together and made her a giant card with funny pictures of everyone she worked with. What do you write on a card that is being given to someone in this position? "Get well" just doesn't cut it at this point.

I think what you wrote was completely appropriate.
A tough question I asked myself several years ago...What kind of Christmas card to you buy for your father to give to your mother when he will die before Christmas comes?
As I have learned the difficult way and it seems so have you, most cards do not adequately express feelings for these situations. I'm sure you did the best you could.
