Storytime: I was surprised when I saw 80-something Ian slide a Father’s Day card across the counter. Ian’s a regular, he likes a chat and had never mentioned his dad. “It’s for my grandson,” Ian said, “he’s just become a new dad, unexpectedly as it happens, and he’s a bit stressed about it all, so I figured a Father’s Day card is an opportunity for me to tell him that I think he’ll be a fine dad.” Ian smiled his classic wide smile.
We are seeing people buy Father’s Day cards this year for uncommon reasons. It is wonderful. #FathersDay #Dad2020 #CardsAsHugs #Love
