For 20 years, two sisters have exchanged a single Mother's Day card, adding messages and photos that celebrate their mother's memory and their own motherhood journeys.
In a heartwarming and unique tradition, two sisters have kept their mother's memory alive through a shared Mother's Day card that has been passed back and forth between them for the past two decades.
Sisters Sarah Johnson and Emily Carter have been exchanging the card since their mother, Mary, passed away in 2002. Each May, the card arrives in their mailboxes, filled with messages and photos that evoke cherished memories of their mom. Over the years, the card has become a tangible symbol of their love for Mary and their shared experience of motherhood.
"The card is a way to connect with my mom and remember her on Mother's Day," said Sarah. "It brings back fond memories and makes me feel like she's still with us in spirit."
Emily echoed Sarah's sentiments: "This card has become a special part of our lives. It's a way to celebrate our motherhood journey and share our experiences with each other."
As the years have passed, the sisters have grown into mothers themselves. Sarah has three children, while Emily has four. The card has become a way for them to share their experiences of motherhood and to connect with their children in a meaningful way.
"My kids love looking at the card and hearing stories about their grandmother," said Sarah. "It's a way for them to get to know her and feel connected to our family history."
Emily added: "My children have grown to understand the significance of the card and the bond we share as sisters. It's a beautiful tradition that we will continue to pass down through generations."
The card has witnessed the sisters' lives change and grow over the years. They have celebrated milestones, faced challenges, and supported each other through thick and thin. The card has become a symbol of their unbreakable bond as sisters and the love they shared for their mother.
As Mother's Day approaches each year, the sisters eagerly anticipate the arrival of the card. It is a cherished reminder of their mother and a testament to the enduring power of family and memory.
"This Mother's Day card is more than just a piece of paper," said Sarah. "It's a symbol of our love, our family, and the precious bond we share."
Emily concluded: "We are so grateful for the opportunity to have this special tradition. It keeps our mother's memory alive and brings us closer together as sisters."
