The Cast Of ‘Seinfeld’ Sends Birthday Wishes To A Dying Man, Thanks To His Son

When Jim Calder was battling a rare form of lung cancer, his son, James, wanted to do something to raise his spirits for his 67th birthday.

Seinfeld is one of the most-watched shows in the history of television. Even though no new episodes have been made for 17 years, it's difficult to flip through the channels without running into an episode every now and again. It set a precedent for all of the TV comedy to come, and it's no wonder why so many people are such die-hard fans of the series. A show presumably about nothing ended up being so relatable to its viewers.

Jim Calder was one of those fans.

So his loving son took it upon himself to reach out to the cast of his dad's favorite show, in the hopes that they might help wish him a happy birthday. It was a time that Jim really needed any positive messages that he could handle, since sometimes even his own doctor wasn't that sympathetic. For the younger Calder, it was so hard to watch his father suffer in so many ways, that he needed the pick-me-up, too.

After all the videos came in, both Calders had their faith in humanity restored. But, most importantly, Jim got an amazing birthday present from his equally amazing son and his favorite TV stars.

Just three days after Julia Louis-Dreyfus sent her video, Jim passed away from his disease. It's amazing how much love he felt in his last days.

If this restored your faith in humanity like it did for James Calder, please SHARE this touching story!
