When a little boy had posted a birthday card asking the postman to deliver it to his dad in heaven he did not expect a reply.
After his dad passed away four years ago, seven-year-old Jase and his sister have done something to mark the occasion every year in his memory.
But this year, Jase decided to post a birthday card – but needed some help.
On the front of his card he wrote: ”Mr postman, can you take this to heaven for my dad’s birthday. Thanks.”
In an amazing heartwarming act, Royal Mail replied, assuring him they had ”succeeded in the delivery of your letter, to your dad in heaven.”
Signed Sean Milligan, assistant delivery office manager, it read: ”This was a difficult challenge avoiding the stars and other galactic objects on route to heaven.
”However please be assured that this particular important item of mail has been delivered.
”Royal Mail’s priority is to get our customers mail delivered safely I know how important your mail is to you. I will continue to do all I can to ensure delivery to heaven safely.”
Sharing the post on Facebook, Jase’s mum Teri, who lives in from Blackburn in West Lothian, wrote: ”I actually cannot state how emotional he is knowing his dad got his card…you didn’t have to make the effort to do this for a little boy you’ve never met.”
The heartwarming post has been shared tens of thousands of times.
