Scruffy Lad is believed to have been created this card for the December 2007 International Boylove Day and it is the twelfth in a series of 14 cards.

Scruffy Lad was a quiet Boylove activist, who worked diligently behind the scenes. A kind and gentle man, who would often recount the cherished memories of his youth when he had been a loved boy. He began creating his cards in 1998 for the first IBLD and continued until 2007. His art is a lasting reminder of the joy, tenderness, and compassion that is within all of us.

Joyous IBLD from BoyWiki!

As you light your candle today,
may the brightness of the flame shine throughout your life.
May it give you courage and reassurance in the darkness,
warmth and safety in the cold,
and strength and joy in your body, mind, and spirit.
