| Probably my grandmother signed this card for "Sonny" (my dad's nickname) and "Buddy" (my uncle's nickname) |
My great-grandmother Mary Theresa Sheehan Killeen Walsh
saved many of the Mother’s Day cards sent to her by her children and
grandchildren. This one is from my dad and his brother. I don’t know the year,
but it was definitely no later than 1939.

sweetest ever, sweet little boys, Fred and Leo. Glad MT kept her cards.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I figured out some of MT's family thanks to the cards.
DeleteThe old cards are so different from today's cards. Its sweet to see the signatures.
ReplyDeleteThey really are so different in every way--the paper, the sentiment, the shape even.
DeleteThis reminds me of a children's book. I can't think of the title, but it has that line about loving you each day of the year.
ReplyDeleteReally? I will need to do some googling.
DeleteSuch a cute card!
ReplyDeletebetty
It is !
DeleteAwww so cute. I can imagine the boys looking over the cards in the store and agreeing on that one.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. Or maybe their mom picked it out and that was that.
DeleteHaven't cards changed over time, and the fuss over Mother's Day as well.
ReplyDeleteThey have changed a lot. And not always in a good way!
DeleteDelightful! How do you store all the old cards you have?
ReplyDeleteThey were glued into scrapbooks. Some of the pages have come loose from the seams, so that actually made it easy to scan. However, the pages are also brittle.
DeleteBeautiful!
