Awkward is...

Trying to gently point out to your boss that passing around a bereavement card for an employee whose child died in a drowning accident, when said card has a waterfall on the cover, is perhaps not ideal.
I'm very glad that I didn't even have to get very far into it before she gasped and took it back.
Unfortunately, the last card in her stash also had a stock image of water. I guess tears=>water, meaning it's a common theme for bereavement.
I think I'm gonna go home and hug the stuffing out of the Emperor tonight.

One has an image of a butterfly on the front, the other one is blind embossed with lilies. Flowers seem to be the second most popular, following nature scenes. The first hit I got on Google images was a lake at sunset. Just... no.
