He then insists on his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be , I didn’t think much of it, but I had to warn my neighbors of the drawings appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the to do so, because I was a little busy recently.

I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve 37 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
