My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the
36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then
37 the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on
38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he
39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be
40 , I didn’t think much of it, but I had
41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings
42 appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the
43 to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I
44 Mary, my elderly neighbor,
45 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once
46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve
47 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much
48 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our
49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days,
50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small
51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought
52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should
53 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most
54 make their day.
