Handwritten Sentiments

I've wanted to write about this for a long time but it is such a predicament to me that I wanted to wait a little while so I would know how to phrase my concern. Then I needed pictures to go along with, but it's finally happening.

I want to know what everyone else does with the cards they get for birthdays, special occasions, gratitude, well wishes, and just the general letters from friends. I love when I receive any of these. Personally, I take my time to pick out a card that is just right for that one person on that particular occasion. It means a lot to get a card from someone you love dearly just knowing the time they put in to seek out that special card.

Then you have the wonderful heartfelt sentiments that people take the time write inside.  It is these sentiments that make getting rid of these cards so hard for me. I can always loom back upon these cards and remember the day I received it and how much it meant to me, how loved I felt and still feel.
 
So I guess I'd like to know if I am the only one who feels this way? And if not, what do you do with all of your cards?

Here are the cards from the first 22 years of my life. Someone help! :)
