In yesterday’s blog I referred to a birthday card my friend and I have been sending back-and-forth to each other since 1979. I am including a link to a blog post I wrote in October 2016 about this card.
However, there is “more to the story” now.
This past year my friend, Diane, and her husband spent the winter in Florida, and enjoyed it very much. She did however, text me on my birthday to let me know the birthday card was back in Minnesota so it would be late in getting to me. She would send it when they returned from Florida. She continued to say her packing list for Florida next year will include, her swimsuit, sun tan lotion, and the recycled birthday card!
It is a very special card, from a very special friend.
I too have been resending birthday cards for many years, one to my sister and another to a friend I worked with. The cards have been getting thicker each year with added notes and a bit ragged and soiled. They are very special as you say and bring back many memories.
I didn’t know that! Yay, that’s great!
This is a wonderful story! A wonderful act of love in your long-time friendship.
Thank you Audrey. Diane and I and her sister have some wonderful memories growing up together in NE Minneapolis. I’m happy to still be in contact with her.
fun card! Postage must have gone up on a 10 pg card!
Yes, it has. 😉
