Greetings from the past

Brazil
If you think this card looks old, you are right, but there's a story behind it that I would like to share with you all. It was 1980 when my parents got married and decided to spend their honeymoon in Brazil. They went to the marvelous Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, and to the beautiful city of Salvador. Once there, they sent this postcard: it was written by my mother and addressed to my father's parents.

Almost two years later... I was born. Many years went by, I started collecting postcards, and during Mother's Day celebration in 2011 (we celebrate it in October), my grandmother showed up with this card saying I should have it.

The view is not that great, but this is definitely the most special card I have. Even my parents were thrilled when my grandmother took the card out of her bag. Totally unexpected, absolutely awesome.

Have you ever received a very special old card?
