Birthday cards have sure changed. When I was growing up, my parents would give me a card, without failure, every year on my birthday. I rarely really wanted a hallmark card, they all said the same thing, a good message, but the same. A few of them survived my youth to make it into a keepsake box that I will always treasure, mostly because my mom and sometimes my dad picked them out signed them and gave them to me. Today, cards are becoming a thing of the past, often replaced with a quick post on Facebook or other even more passing wish.
