Handmade
It was an old handmade postcard from World War One.
The army insignia stitched onto the cardboard.
Someone had painstakingly sewn it all those years ago.
Still, in good condition, it contained a message never forgotten.
Best wishes from a new husband, killed a few days later, to his young wife and newly born son.

Too tragic for comment …
It actually happened. I found the postcard among some old photos and eventually passed it on to a cousin who was the baby in my story.
Gosh. A story come full circle., hey. 🙂
So sad!
Sad, but wonderful that you found it and could give to your cousin. I know it is treasured. Thanks for sharing.
