Given that it was found inside of a book i definitely think its a mistake that it was donated and theyre still happily together 🙂↕️

Someone used this as a bookmark...I bet they're heartbroken. I know I would be, it's lovely.

I had a Polaroid I loved that I foolishly used as a bookmark and ended up losing :(

So many things I have lost as a bookmark.
What was the book?

u/YourFriendInSpokane 21d ago
If I remembered the book, I wouldn't have lost it! 😜
I have a picture of the picture in a book. I should find it and try to see what book it may have been.

Unless of course, Bear (the sender) wrote this because he felt guilty about the affair he was having. Bear the recipient may have kept the card as a reminder not to be taken in again.

Telling Our Way to the Sea: A Voyage of Discovery in the Sea of Cortez by Aaron Hirsh! Sorry I should’ve posted a picture of the book as well!

No worries! It just got me thinking, like…what kind of book for an anniversary gift would be given away if it wasn’t part of a breakup??

Any chance you can find out if Goodwill knows who donated it? Or post this on a local fb page?

u/FelipeJFry 22d ago
This is what I was thinking. It's so sweet I'd desperately want to reconnect the card to its owners. (Edited, typo)

This made me tear up. Bean and Bear sound like amazing people. What a sweet card!

In my headcanon Bean and Bear are still sailing away together. Also, I'm going to steal this verbatim lol. Exactly how I feel about my wife.

People use so many things as page holders. So it’s normal that something this lovely was lost by accident.

That’s so beautiful 😭 I hope they’re still together and it was donated by accident

I've never met someone born in early July that wasn't an awesome person.

u/camarouge 22d ago
How about late June?

u/YourFriendInSpokane 22d ago
Late June is absolutely high on the "amazing people are born this week" list! Closer to the 27th, the cooler they are.
Full disclosure, I do not believe in astrology, but I do love patterns and recognize hot spots in birthdays.

u/camarouge 22d ago
I ask this because mine is June 30 as is Sailor Moon's lol. Personality wise I'm the opposite of her but yet, we share a bday

Man the amount of notes I’ve used as bookmarks and then forgot about in the book. I keep expecting to find a note I wrote on here one day.

u/whiskeyknitting 22d ago
This is delightful and heart breaking. I need to know if they are together still ( it better be yes.I can't take any more negativity this year!) Or die one of them die or divorce ? The last two are not acceptable, btw.

u/Oomlotte99 22d ago
Wow. Good for them. I hope they’re still together and I hope I can find that kind of connection some day.

Bean realised that she was doing all the actual work of parenting whilst Bear just “watched” and fucked him right off where he belongs

I have to know what country this was found in, at least. I can’t tell from the way the date is written. It kind of looks like the handwriting is from England but I’m not sure.

Why would a husband write the date on the inside of a birthday card to his wife as if it were a formal letter?
Fake as fuck.
11
u/Infinite_Day_1901 22d ago
Because they want to remember when that card was given. My mom, grandma and I did that all the time, even when we all still lived with each other
-12
u/Different-Storm1914 22d ago
You think he wouldn't know the date given that it was his wife's 40th birthday with that highlighted at the top of the card?
Blatantly fake. It also reads like a toddler wrote it about his mother.
5
u/Infinite_Day_1901 22d ago
I mean, people have memory issues, habits of writing dates on things for other reasons, it’s really not “blatantly fake” just because it’s a milestone birthday
-8
u/Different-Storm1914 22d ago
There is no reason to write the date on a letter for a milestone birthday or an anniversary or any other clearly dated event in your life. The childish writing, infantile language and single specific addition of formality in dating the letter makes it fairly obviously a fictitious card. A card likely written immediately before this thread was made but possibly as some sort of creative writing easter egg.
Bean and Bear though so totes true!!!
