New cashier
Met some friends at a local restaurant. The cashier was late so a very new employees was working the register for the first time. She was having a tough time and even though it took a while for us to get out orders placed, we all left pretty hefty tips to let her know we appreciated her.

Anniversary Dinner
COVID makes dining out awkward. That said, our waiter made our anniversary dinner so fun and a memorable experience. Needless to say, he got a nice tip! Thanks for the delicious truffles!

I sent a message to my friend's daughter. She is leaving today for college. I've known her since she was born. It's bittersweet.

I should have done this sooner......
The moment I picked up this card I knew exactly how it needed to be played. It only made me sad to think I hadn't done it sooner. (Thank you Boom Boom! for reminding me, yet again, what is most important in this world. So often we forget.) I waited a few days after pulling the card, then I called my mom.
"Hey Mom, how are you? There is something I want to tell you."
"Okay, What is it? What happened?"
"Nothing happened. I just called to tell you that I am sorry."
"Oh great, what have you done now, Bry"
"Nothing! Don't you remember I am your favorite child?!?!"
"Yeah sure, like I have a favorite"
"Alright, your second favorite?"
"Sure."
"Anyways, where can I begin....I want to apologize for everything I have ever done that has caused you grief, anxiety or hardship. You have been an amazing mother and I couldn't have asked for more in a mother. I also want to thank you for everything you have done, sacrificed and demanded of and for me."
SILENCE
"Mom?"
"Mom!" (Did I get disconnected on such an important call!?!?!?)
"Yeah, I'm here. I just wasn't expecting that. I thought you were going to say you were calling from jail, or something like that with such a preface."
"Hahaha, not this call. I just want to make sure you know how sorry I am for every time I failed to realize you were right."
"Well, thanks sweetie. Glad you realized it before you had kids. Hahahaha. That means a lot, Bry"
"I hoped it would, because you mean a lot to me."
Of course this is a reconstruction of the conversation and it continued long afterwards, but I felt a change after all of it. All of the sudden our relationship felt more solid. I am not sure how else to describe it. So often I forget all that my mom sacrificed for me and look back on my past only thinking about what I went through and not what SHE went through for me. This card was powerful.

You didn't know it was your half birthday?!?!
My younger sister, Vanessa has her half birthday on my birthday! That made it easy to decide this card was made for her! So a few days before my birthday I put together a little package to send to her. I put a few candles in it with home-made stickers on them stating that one candle was for "strength" and the other was for "love". I knew she was going through a hard time in her relationship and also having some financial struggle. Also in the package I put a Safeway gift card and some skittles, her favorite.
She called me the day before my birthday crying. (Darn my poor evaluation of how long it would take the package to arrive at her house!) She said it was completely unexpected and it arrived at the perfect time because she had been having a rough day (maybe my timing wasn't all that bad). I was stoked to be a part of anything that could make her smile, because she deserves nothing less.
I think I might have to do this card a couple more times before passing it on because I am sure sending this package made me feel just as good as it made Vanessa feel!
