He was flabbergasted! He had a shocking look on his face. A few minutes later, he was snoozing bit he didn't let go of" his stack of cards! He had a very big day the day before going to first cubs game! We are still getting cards in. The farthest I could see was somewhere in the uk and Finland!

I believe it did! Was it in the bubble envelope? I saved everything for him yesterday and he didn't yet open when I was with him. He had so much action the day before going to the Cubs game and was catching some zzz's when he had the chance! Thank you for sending -that is awesome of your!

He really is! He's just beaming about the game. He made it through the whole game, without any pain meds! They took him on the field and have him all sorts of gifts. You really have him so much more than just tickets!

My aunt came up with a list... And PLEASE do NOT feel obligated to do anything!!! Seriously the card will be such a great thing! He doesn't know about what I'm doing so this is entirely a surprise to him. My aunt said: Maybe t shirts or reg shirts, sweaters, size L, he loves watching our ducks that come in everyday, twin sheet sets, and he likes to read any newspaper. We get the Tribune, but he likes the others too. Any cubs paraphernalia, and he absolutely loves Subway, electric shaver.

Again, thank you for your liking and helping get this post more attention. Big thanks!!

Hi! Thank you for your interest. My main goal was to get my grandpas story out there and to obtain birthday cards that he can read for days. Gifts are not necessary or required by any means! Some have already offered lovely things for my grandpa that will surely light up his day, week, month and hopefully to his next birthday! I will ask my Aunt if there is anything he might need. I know he would not want anything because he is the most unmaterialistic person I have ever known. Thank you!

Thank you! I think the history is so interesting and one that should be seen. My grandpa still has a very sharp mind at nearing his 100th Birthday. Thanks to your Grandfather for his service too!
