Molly is a young entrepreneur who is very close with her dad — he’s her best friend and parent, an idea man and treasure trove of anecdotal wisdom. Although her dad is a sharp, active, and tennis-obsessed 80 year old in good health, Molly knows at some point her dad will leave this world behind. Being so close, Molly worries about her state of being and the grief that will envelop her once he passes on.
When her normally healthy father started experiencing some serious medical issues, Molly realized more acutely than ever that she might be grieving her dad far earlier than she was ready. Plus, he’s the one person she could turn to when processing grief, except in this eventual instance, he couldn’t… because the grief would be for him.
That’s when Molly came up with the idea of her dad writing her future birthday cards, for her to open one each year after he is gone. That way, his humor, advice and love could be infused onto paper and felt years or even decades after his future demise. Her dad, enthusiastic about the idea, helped Molly come up with “Birthdays from Beyond.”
As a brand-new online business, “Birthdays from Beyond” offers card packs with instructions and writing prompts to help anyone pen messages of love and celebration for those they will someday leave behind. Because deciding what your legacy will be, and writing it down… might be the most beautiful message of all.
