I had to travel to take care of my father who was recovering from surgery. He actually gave me a birthday card, two days before my birthday. He knows that annoys me. (He is good about sending birthday cards, however, he sends them about two weeks before the actual birthday, so he can check that off his to do list.) I really don't mind it because he is in his mid-80s and is still pretty sharp. He still works part time. I have made a list for him that includes the e-mail and regular mail addresses, cell phone numbers and birthdays of our entire family. The list is quite long including 5 great- grandchildren (3 of them have cell phones). Heck, he even sent a card to a grandson's fiancee.

I would not have guessed this to be true. Snobblevitch Nov 2015 #1
