Thanks for posting this, mailartist. I have quite a collection of old greeting cards that I have saved over the years. Seeing this video makes me wish I had saved even more of them. I have an Easter postcard that my father sent my mother before they were married which makes the card at least 84 years old. I also have the card my Godmother sent me on my first birthday. I won't mention how old that one is . Those old cards really do evoke such special memories.

Oddly enough, I save (mostly thank you) cards, too, most often kept in the bottom of my sock drawer. Most often, these come from "nonwriters," and so are a few handwritten lines thanking me for some little nothing or other that I did, or said. Nothing that is "hi (sic) literature" but they come from many people I've known, and looking at them brings those people to mind.
What struck me most was that a packet of cards were gathered up and mailed back to Danny. Coming as they did after the decease of those individuals (Danny Gregory's wife died young and unexpectedly), it had to have been a kindness -- both for him and for their son -- to have "mom" back.
