My Nan passed away two years ago, it would have been their wedding anniversary on Friday of this week. I brought a "Thinking of you" card for my Grandad which I was about to post. When I told my Dad he stated that none of the family send cards to him on this date ( which I kinda understand), last year I didnt as it was the first year and first anniversary they had been apart, but thought it would be nice to let him know I was thinking of him....Its not like he is going to forget the date, they were married for 60 years...Do I send it or not?

Yes I would send it just to show him you haven't forgotten how important that date is to him!
Very nice of you to remember, good for you!

my poppa passed away 2 years ago and they would have had two anniversaries since then, including their 40th wedding anniversary which was the year that they were going to renew their vows. we all go and see nanna on their wedding anniversary or take the time to call her on the day but no one says to her about the anniversary or talks about it because i think that she would rather remember the good things and not hear people saying how sorry they are that he's not here with her celebrating their anniversary. maybe you should just have a nice conversation with him and go see him if you can but i wouldnt send a card about it, it would most likely upset him. a visit would be much more appreciated.

yes why not. You dont have to even mention your Nan, just send the card with a nice message in it. He'll appreciate knowing you're thinking of him and be pleased that you remembered the occasion. What a lovely thought

I would send it, as then he knows that you are thinking of him.
Even better would be to take it to him in person (if you are able) and see if he wants to reminse about the good times he had, or he may just need a shoulder to cry on - on what would have been a very special day if his loved one was still alive. Albeit it is still a very special day because once you have been with someone that long you never forget and you never really lose them as they are always with you.

As long as it isnt an anniversary card, I would send it. Sometimes little things like that mean an awful lot.

No you shouldn't send the card. If you want to send a thinking of you card do it on some other day, did you only think of him on this day? It would be much nicer to send it on any other day.

Yeah I'd send it- I guess your dad and most men are just not into cards! But your grandad will be touched that you care!

I would definately send it. Nothing worse than that feeling of - "everyone has forgotten except me" - which is how he may feel if no-one mentions it for fear of hurting him. It`s an important day for him and i bet it will bring a big smile to his face when he opens that card !

Send the card - I always call my nan on significant dates - I know she appreciates it and I am sure your grandfather will too.

Send it.
He'll be glad to know that someone else is thinking about the love they shared together for so long..
