I chose to write postcards of an imagined conversation between Trevor and his dad after years of separation. I imagine that Trevor would have chosen to use humor to not seem as vulnerable or needy. In this way, humor serves as a buffer to protect from showing some of his most vulnerable emotions. Humor helps those suffering helping them begin the process of healing without being too vulnerable while they still feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, I imagine that Trevor's dad, Robert, would be direct and brief. Noah commented that his dad was not a man to share much about himself. However, I think Robert would have been thrilled to have Trevor come back into his life because he had chosen to be part of it from the moment Trevor was born.
