Mom loved sending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/greeting-cards\/personalized-greeting-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>personalized greeting cards<\/strong><\/a> to family and friends. She had a greeting card for every occasion. It was a ritual for her to go to the store to buy cards all the time. She would always say it makes a person feel special to receive a card, and it was uncanny how she could whip out a card if you needed one for any occasion. As I was going through her things I found some greeting cards she had carefully put away. I came across an envelope addressed to her sister. I carefully opened the unsealed envelope and came across a lovely personalized birthday card she had gotten for her sister\u2019s birthday, which was still a month away.<\/p>\n<p>The personalized birthday card expressed how lucky she was to have her as a sister. It was so touching it brought tears to my eyes. I said to myself, wow she took the time to address and sign the card months ahead so it was up to me to deliver it to my aunt. I mailed the birthday card two days before her birthday and it did arrive exactly on that day. My aunt called me that evening to tell me about her special birthday card.<\/p>\n<p>She was feeling down that morning thinking of her sister not being here to share the day with her as they\u2019ve done in past years. She went to get her mail which came earlier than usual, and when she went through the mail and saw the card addressed in her sister\u2019s handwriting she thought, \u201cHow could that be?\u201d She opened the card and read the final loving words sent by her sister for her birthday. She told me how wonderful she felt and the birthday card just made her entire day because she did spend her birthday with her sister after all, and she will cherish her last birthday card from my Mom until they see each other again someday. My Mother was so right when she said \u201ca greeting card of any kind will always make a person feel special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Mother passed away recently so I had a few of her personal things I packed in boxes to go through at a less emotional time.
