Dalai Lama Foundation Study Circle Montreal

Last year she was 96 years old. I thought about things I could get her but aside from food there isn’t much she needs. So, I decided to I send emails out to a few friends. I told everyone about my Aunt and asked them if they could please take a few minutes and help celebrate her birthday by sending a card to her.

Little did I know how this one request would impact so many, especially my Aunt! My friends asked their own friends to join in. The cards started arriving every day for a month!! My Aunt was so excited! She couldn’t believe so many people were thinking about her. She recieved over 50 cards!

Something so little, that takes just a few minutes to do, ment the world to her. Many peoples lives have been touched by this gesture, not only my Aunt’s. A card really does say it all. Here we are approaching March… her birthday is here … I can’t wait to send out that email….My Aunt is going to be 97 on March 13th.
