  Recently, my younger brother passed away at the age of 38. I cleaned his things up and gave everything that could be used to those who needed them.

  I came across a Father’s Day card I had given nearly 35 years ago, and the thought of it brought a tear to my eyes and gave me an idea.

  When I was growing up, I was told to make hand-made cards for our parents at school. It was a pleasant experience but a little uncomfortable for me because only my mom was left.

  Anyway, we created Happy Father’s Day cards to bring home. I thought that my mom played both roles in our home, so on the front of the card, where it read Happy Father’s Day, I added the word "mom" to the text and gave it to her. Mom was very happy!

  My younger brother had gotten many of Mom’s things when she moved to Florida. He had remembered that Mom loved the card, and he did not want to lose it. It remained with him until his death.

  This card gave me the idea for creating a line of gifts for children seeking a similar gift, as I have never found a similar product yet. The website called Happy Father’s Day, Mom was created with some of the profits going to Mom to support her retirement. Who would have thought it could go this far? I am not sure how many more years Mom will be with us, but I know I will always have the memory of the card that read "Happy Father’s Day, Mom".
