Nine-year-old Zakariyus Ford and his father, Derek Ford, are using Derek’s company Haha Cards to create uplifting, touching, and often hilarious card designs themed around the pandemic and the services of front line workers like medical professionals and grocery store employees.

THANK YOU TO OUR GOLDEN KNIGHTS
It’s no secret to any Vegas Golden Knights fans by now that — after a season of more
ups, downs, starts, and stops than anyone could have anticipated — our Knights were knocked out of the Western Conference playoffs after an overtime loss to the Dallas Stars in Game 5. We’ve had our time to mourn the defeat, which means now it’s time to say thank you. Thank you to the VGK for giving us another season to continue cheering for even when the world was turned upside down. Thank you for being willing to spend 51 days in a quarantine bubble in Edmonton, Canada,
during the playoffs. And thank you for fighting valiantly for a title we all wanted, even though we couldn’t all be there to help you win it. We are so proud of the Vegas Golden Knights for making it as far as they did this crazy season. Now it’s time to start gearing up for the next one!
