"2.

Front of card: A golden sunset on a Pacific coast.

Inside: “I’ve been able to not feel for almost 16 years straight, but tonight I can see the weight of my mother’s body making the most innocent indentation on a mattress 25 hundred miles from here. And I can feel every kind thing my father did for us now that I’m a man who understands what it takes to make even the smallest things happen. And tonight I know that to stay with my girlfriend will mean watching us both age through life’s finite amount of days, and that is my true fear of commitment. I stay awake most nights wrestling with love and death."
