When my ten-year-old daughter became oddly obsessed with checking the mailbox, I thought it was just a phase. But what I discovered hidden in those letters left me in tears and revealed a secret that changed our lives forever.

Hi, I’m Erin, a 40-year-old single mom who adores her daughter, Lily. We’ve been a tight-knit duo since her dad passed away three years ago. Lily is my world: bright, curious, and full of life.

Recently, Lily started asking to check the mail every day. One morning, she mentioned it was “a secret,” which worried me. When she left for school, I decided to investigate.

In the mailbox, I found letters Lily had written to Mrs. Thompson, our mailwoman, offering her comfort after the loss of her daughter. Each letter was filled with kindness and warmth.

Reading those letters, I couldn’t help but cry. My heart swelled with pride, knowing my daughter had such a compassionate heart.
