Yes, I completely agree about the sadness of Ennis not having a lot to hold onto after such a long relationship.  I particularly think it's sad that he doesn't have a picture of Jack.  That would be really hard.

Another thing that always gets me in relation to the final postcard scene, is that we know in the S.S there is no smell of Jack or BBM leftin the shirts,yet after the reunion kiss, when they go upstairs to Alma, Ennis is aware that he can smell Jack on him.
So many opposites in this wonderful thing called Brokeback.Every single thing is bittersweet. I wish that Ennis hd just kept the 1st card, that he almost lovingly caresses.

Gabreya:
I think they each did. I mean, it's not uncommon for loved ones to keep eachothers postcards or letters. It's to show how they're holding on to what they have and how much they care.

(I am voting and typing my reply before reading the other responses...)

I think it would be lovely if they had, but I voted no b/c I think Lureen would have found them... and then not been able to give the excuse about "Jack keeping all his friends address in his head" (yes, I realize she could have been lying with that whole story).  I also think if Ennis had kept the postcards, he wouldn't have gone to the store to buy the one.

I think mostly we wish they would have kept them, but no, I don't think they did...

(all speculation anyway, obviously...   :))

Brokeback_Dev:
I voted yes.  Of course they kept each others post cards.  duh!
