The "Happy Father's Day Card" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Yesterday, after the mail arrived, I opened a letter with my name handwritten across the front of the envelope.  Didn't recognize the handwriting, but still excited to see what is inside the medium sized envelope.  Inside I found a hand-made Father's Day card.  The outside of the card stated "Couldn't let today go by without wishing you a very Happy Father's day!" it proclaimed on the red and black front.  Inside was just the greeting "Happy Father's Day" in large black type on  a light red background and it was signed "Love" Mom!  Pretty neat!  My mom is a resident of Moravian Manor retirement community in Lititz, PA and she loves it there.  I try to visit at least once a week and sometimes manage to get there more than once a week.  The nurses that work in her area are all great people and love her as much as she loves them.  They are always trying to do something with the residents to make their quality of life better in their waning years.  The card is one example.  I'm sure that most guys who have a relative in the unit where my mom is and who are a father received one of these cards.  Included with the card is an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper with a quiz to take.  Titled "Famous Fathers & Sons", it lists on the left 25 fathers and on the right 25 sons.  My job is to match the fathers with the sons.  Easy to match Ozzie with David and Ricky, Henry Mitchell with Denis, George Bush with George W., Ward Cleaver with Beaver, and Bobby Bonds with Barry, but then it got harder.  Who would you match with King Solomon, King David, Polonius, and Bruce Lee? I know, if you had all the names across from them you might know, but for me I was stumped on all the rest.  And, after cheating and looking at the answers on the reverse side, I still did recognize the names. But, it really doesn't matter because the most important part was that my mom sent me the card to wish me a Happy Father's Day.  And, I have a few of her guardian angels to thank for that.  Will give her a call tonight and thank her for the card.  She may or may not remember making it and sending it to me or even that today is Father's Day, but that's OK.  She did remember that I was a father and that's all that matters.  Happy Father's Day to all of my readers who are fathers on this special day of the year.  Hope you got a special card, also  Enjoy!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
