Hi everyone!

I've seen a few requests like this on here lately, & I thought id give it a try!

My Granny that raised me, has the beginning of that "wonderful" brain/neurological disorder/disease called Alzheimers. :( she has both good and bad days... Good days being where she's Happy & we have normal conversations, & everything is fine. Bad days are when she's confused & doesn't make much sense of what is going on & gets very mixed up. Thankfully its mostly good days recently. But I know its going to get much worse from here on out. :( I went thru this with my great grandma & it was horribly upsetting, but I know what to expect now... Anyway...

My plea for all of you that have a heart, & I know its many of you out there. :) her 71st birthday is on the 27th of March. & everytime I go to the mailbox, she always asks, "did I get anything?"... & when a birthday card arrives, she so excited & loves sticking them to the wall, where she can see them all. :) so, my plea is birthday cards or a birthday wish on a postcard. She loves cats & birds a whole lot, so if it pertained to one of those - even better! But a regular card would make her just as Happy!

I'm not letting her know I'm doing this, as I want it to be a surprise... I WILL send you a thank you postcard in return, if you have your return addy on there. :)

I'm NOT asking for gifts or anything like that. Just a simple birthday card, or postcard for my Grandma. She's not one for material things. As I've learned the hard way, over the yrs. But, I see that as a good thing. :) She loooves to get mail, though! Special mail, as junk mail makes her mad. Lol. So, I thought id try to make her birthday a bit happier!

Her address is: Mrs. Judy Clark - 121 Leland King Lane - Norlina, NC 27563 - USA

For the swap, if anyone joins... Just send one storebought postcard to your partner. :). No free or ad cards. :). Send something to your partner that you'd like to receive. :)

Please make her smile for her birthday! I appreciate yalls kindness Sooo very much!

Thanks again!

I did this at Christmas time for my parents and it really made their holiday seasons. I will send one.

ZoeElisa 03/10/2013 #

i send her a card.without to join this swap- but can you send a easter or birthday card to my daughter too?! the swap you find on my profile ;)

picupurcross 03/10/2013 #

I'll send her a card! :)

kisscut91 03/10/2013 #

Maybe you should get your rating fixed first before requesting something?

bettflow09 03/10/2013 #

Awwww...this is so sweet what you are doing for your grandma @kerrimoo !! I know how devastating alzheimers is. My grandma and my aunt both passed away several years ago from this horrible disease. I will gladly send her a card to help brighten her day:)))

kerrimoo 03/10/2013 #

@ZoeElisa it was actually you post on here that gave me the thought that people are kind enough to do this kind of thing. :) I actually have a card ready for your little girl on the mail folder thing in the kitchen, where the outgoing mail goes each day. :) its ready to be sent in the morning. :) thanks for the great idea!

kerrimoo 03/10/2013 #

@kisscut91 thanks for the sweet comment, honey. :) if you would have actually READ my profile, you would see things are fixed best as they will be. I ask for a favour of fellow swappers, strangers, for the most part... & receive kindness from many. Then, sweet people like you show! Wow-o! What a highlight of my night you have been! ;) thanks, hun!

kerrimoo 03/10/2013 #

@bettflow09 @picupurcross @AZmom875 thanks, you gals! Please include your return addy & ill send a postcard your way! :) thanks again!

@walkaboutgypsy thanks soo much! I appreciate the kindness! :*)

ladydy5 03/13/2013 #

How are you doing this as a swapper to get a rating, when swap names go up, what do we send to our swapper? I will certainly send to your granny also.

Ambelleina 03/18/2013 #

This is so sweet. I am watching the swap and will definitely send her a card. <3

snailmailer1 03/19/2013 #

I've just written a card out. I hope she receives many :)

me2u 03/19/2013 #

WOW kisscut91, how mean hearted are you? Kerrimoo is doing this for her Grandmothers 71st birthday.

Kerrimoo, This is so thoughtful of you, I do not do international swaps but I will be sending your Grandmother a card. I hope she has a wonderful birthday.

Gaelan 03/21/2013 #

Card sent! :) No need to send me one unless you want to. I'm more than happy to do this for your grandmother, especially since I don't have any left to send cards to.. :)

Momskii 03/21/2013 #

I am just sending to grandma, as I have too many other swaps in the works at the moment. Hope she loves all the cards sent to her. No need for you to send anything to me, just let me know that she did receive it.

RachiiChu 03/21/2013 #

I might not join the swap since I'm crazy busy, but I'll be happy to send her one c: No need to reciprocate one. This is a super sweet thing to do for your grandma.

snailmailer1 03/23/2013 #

I've posted a card for your granny. I've just moved to watch list because I'm on my 20 limit :)

bytekel 03/23/2013 #

Sent a card!

Gingerlei 03/23/2013 #

I'm mailing a card to your grandma tomorrow. Hope it makes it in time for her b'day! No need to send anything in return.

jhappy36 03/25/2013 #

I cannot "sign up" for this swap but you put her address on here and I'm going to send one anyways. This is awesome and I'd love to be part of making her week a wonderful one! You're a great woman for taking care of your Gram. I cared for my Great Aunt Ann and she had Alzheimer's too. It is not an easy disease. :( HUGS Jani

mcovey 03/25/2013 #

So happy to do this I love to do these !!! Happy Birthday Granny!!!

jhappy36 03/25/2013 #

P.s. ~ I also don't need you to send me a postcard or anything in return. It's nice to send a bit of cheer to your Gram! ;)

smvlpn 03/25/2013 #

Wow- Kisscut91- Mean, and totally uncalled for. She didn't ask for anything but a card for her Grandmother.

Kerrimoo- I will gladly send your Grandmother a card, and I don't need anything in return, and I don't care if your rating was a zero. My Father in law just passed last month from dementia, and I know how heartbreaking and exhausting the care can be. My heart goes out to you both.

aurelas 03/25/2013 #

Not in the swap, but I just sent one :)

Vickyen 03/26/2013 #

Hi! I am not joining the swap but will send a card to your Grandmother - since it will be past her B-day I will just send a thinking of you if that is ok. This is really sweet and I hope your Grandma enjoys all the Happy Mail! ;)

Ambelleina 03/26/2013 #

Oh shoot, I just realized her birthday is tomorrow and I haven't mailed my card out! I will get it in the mail tomorrow morning and it may be a little late, but hey, it will keep the birthday going past the actual day. :)

jhappy36 03/26/2013 #

I just sent my card out for her this morning. I'm hoping this means it will arrive with precision ON her actual birthday! hehe. :)

mishap 03/26/2013 #

@kerrimoo does she like anything other than birds or cats? i only have penguins not birds in my stash of postcards.

gmasusie 03/26/2013 #

I've been wathching this swap and just now read it all the way thru. Her birthday is today. I will get a card out today. I'm not joining the swap and I don't need you to send me any thing in return. It just feels good to make someone's day a little brighter

Jadelynn 03/27/2013 #

I've sent the card to your Granny today! No need to send anything back :-)

Ambelleina 03/27/2013 #

Hey FYI, I sent her a card today from here in Dallas, TX! Of course, no need to send anything back to me but I hope she enjoys it! :)

biohazard 03/27/2013 #

awww my gma has Alzheimer's as well. She's at the point he doesn't know who anyone is. so i will def do this for your granny!

peartree55 03/27/2013 #

Such a Great Idea. Sending her a card today. Please don't send me anything in return. This is for your Grandma, not us!!!

mamarochat 03/27/2013 #

I am not joining the swap but will be sending your grandmother a card tomorrow morning.

DreamingDragonfly 03/28/2013 #

Sending my card this morning. No need to send anything in return.

biohazard 03/28/2013 #

sent a card :) now gonna "drop" from this swap so I can join another. your granny is lucky to have you :)

jhappy36 03/28/2013 #

Can we get a rating from this? I am a newbie trying to build it up and I would love that. It doesn't seem to have the ability to hit the "items have been sent button" which would give me credit for the swap too. Thanks! I hope your Granny had a great Bday!

artediem 03/28/2013 #

It's in the mail! Great idea!

MrsSparkle 03/28/2013 #

I have to leave this swap as swap partners have not been assigned. I already went to the post office and I cannot get back there today in time to meet the send by deadline. I am really disappointed, but I did pop a birthday card into the mail for Judy. Happy Birthday, Judy!

kerrimoo 03/28/2013 #

Thank you everyone for all the love & cards received! There's 29 on the wall! Thanks so very much! Return cards going on on the 1st. :)

mcovey 03/29/2013 #
