Yes a lovely story, well done Royal mail.

[Mamyalynne]

As a Postman's daughter I know of many such incidents over the years and without doubt they always bring a smile and sometimes a tear.x

[anneasquith]

How lovely :-)

[Patsy33]

What a good heart! There's still a few out there....

[gness]

Beautiful and heartwarming, marval. Thank you.

[TonyV]

That's lovely tears in my eyes

[kvalidir]

That lovely and gives you faith in humankind xxx

[Barmaid]

I thought that was so sweet. I saw that just after I'd seen this:-



I think my mascara is faulty because it was all down my face........

[marval]

Oh, thank you barmaid, I now have tears in my eyes. What a lucky dog, and new friends too.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh my goodness.x

[Buenchico]

Thanks for posting the link to a lovely story, Marval, and thank you too, Barmaid, for the equally lovely doggy video.

Returning to the theme of children with parents in heaven, and combining that with tear-jerking videos, take a look at this young lad (in the Dutch version of The Voice Kids) singing the song which was played at his mother's funeral.

[marval]

Thank you Buenchico, I will watch that later.

[horselady]

I really should buy some better eye make up, mine seems to have washed off. What with the original story and the videos, that's me finished.

[bednobs]

I am clearly alone in hating this story.

[Mamyalynne]

I doubt that Bednobs, just the only one so far on this thread - and there's nothing wrong with that.

[ummmm]

Oh my, BM, that made me cry.

[bednobs]

I just 5hink it could be very confusing for the boy. If a postman can get a letter to the dad why can't they visit? Why can't the dad reply? I suppose I am rathere coloured by the fact I get loads of questions about heaven from my six year old who goes to a religious school. I always tell her that not everyone believes in heaven including me :)

[Mamyalynne]

That's a fair assessment and I think we all deal with those questions in our own way depending on the child - it's not always easy to gauge is it?

That is wonderful and I love that picture of him as a tiny tot with his Daddy - what a waste of a young man, wonder how he died.

Oh flippin' 'eck Barmaid, I'm crying again now, it's all I seem to do nowadays ...
