D's Birthday

Happy 50th Dad!


Poor guy - always having a birthday right before Christmas. Here we are 1982.  

A few weeks ago I found *this* post. Such a brilliant idea! We had do it for my dad for his 50th birthday. Additionally, he officially retired yesterday, so it is the perfect time to collect memories. 


I designed (though I don't love them...but when do I think things match my vision) and printed out postcards (one for each year of his life) and notes explaining what we were asking, that people record a favorite funny memory of my dad and send it to him.


As of yesterday three postcards had arrived...looking forward to more in the days to come. Maybe I'm optimistic but I want every one of them to find it's way to him.
