Patience

1928: My father was born.

1964: I was born.

1981: I gave him a card for his birthday that read “Congratulations! For the first time in your life, you’ve got more than a full deck.”

1990: On my birthday, a small package came in the mail with no return address. It contained half of a deck of cards.
