"It felt like a paradox. On one hand these letters don't mean anything to me, but on the other hand discarding them just feels wrong. Throughout your life, if it's a good long life, you let go and you let go. Of your ambitions, your hair, the people you love most. And then one day, after a lifetime of saying goodbye to the most important things, you suddenly find yourself unable to unclench your hand from the handle of a suitcase that isn't even yours. And for close to 30 years it seems no one who carried the suitcase could easily let go. Not Ed, not Kendra, even Brad - the most motivated - could only pack the suitcase exit the front door and make it only so far as the curb. And why? Why can't any of us destroy the letters? Is it because we believe in stories about love, the beauty of youth, the idea that somehow contained within this little suitcase a relationship still exists when that's a stand-in for a relationship that we've all had and lost?"
