I get sad about a lack of real-life paper cards, too. Thank goodness my grandmother still sends me birthday cards (although no money in them anymore, darn being a grown-up)!
And while I always am thrilled to receive a real letter, I find myself puzzled with what to do with them afterward - it seems callous to throw them out, but do I keep storing them for years and years, just letting them take up room? I suppose my future biographers might appreciate that, but right now they just become clutter.

Sigh. So many difficulties!
