Merry Christmas
3 May 2005
So, as I’m cleaning the house today and going through piles and piles of CRAP that my dad has laying around his house… I found this card. It’s got a picture of flowers on the front, and it says, “I ask myself why I have been blessed with someone so understanding and so caring… Perhaps it’s because I can truly appreciate you or maybe it’s because God knew I needed you so much.” Upon flipping it over, I found more: “Frank, I hope this is the first of many Christmases together. Love, Cheryl. 12-23-84″
At first, I was just like… “Aww.. that’s kinda cute. My mom loves my dad.” Then I realized what the date said. 12-23-84. 1984. That means when my mom wrote this to my dad, she was my age. That’s scary.
