My daughter has sent me the same birthday card for seven years.
I am lucky to get birthday cards from Claire. She always writes a heartfelt, loving letter inside. "This card says it all," she began in the first four years.
When I opened the envelope two days ago, I burst into laughter. Called to thank Claire for the birthday card and gift.
"It's hilarious that you have sent me the same birthday card for six or seven years!" I said, laughing. "Did you buy stock in this birthday card?" I joked. "It's very sweet."
"No, I didn't realize I've been sending the same card," she said. "I search through birthday cards and this is the best one."
"I'm sentimental," I replied. "Since you were little, I have saved your letters and cards, and write your age and the date on the back. I love your beautiful letters."

What does that say for the Hallmark selection of birthday cards for moms?

Good point.
I last saw my children 29 years ago, their mother had lied to the police and I was in handcuffs, she paraded the children in front of me and told them that I was a 'bad man'.
What I wouldn't give for a birthday card of any kind from one of my children. They no longer bear my surname and I finally stopped sending money with no response after 27 years of payment.
Enjoy the love that you have, my life is full of goodness but there is a hole in my heart, I call them the three R's - Rachelle, Ryan and Robert. May they all be happy and well, my life isn't important by comparison.

The thought is what really matters and counts. This coincidence makes a great story.
