Birthday Cards for the Dead?

Have you ever seen a birthday card for someone already deceased? I don’t mean recently, someone who passed away but people still have a memorial sort of birthday for them. What about when it is your Father, long gone.

Today is my Dad’s birthday. I forget how long ago he died, it has been about 15 years, possibly more. I can’t give him a pretty or funny card. I didn’t find any wise or witty quotes. Not a single birthday card found for the deceased.

Has no one else ever thought of this? I will see what I can think of. Nothing brilliant so far.

What would you write, draw, create as a birthday card for family or friends long dead?
