Jase Hyndman, 7, of West Lothian, Scotland, mailed a birthday card to his father in heaven earlier this month. He had not received a reaction since his loving father died four years earlier.

Jase did not provide an address in his letter, instead writing, “Mr. Postman, could you please take this to heaven for my father’s birthday?” Thanks.”

When Sean Milligan, assistant delivery office manager for the United Kingdom’s Royal Mail service, saw the letter, he did something that many people praised him for: he responded to the small child!

“Dear Jase,” said the letter. “While delivering your package, we became aware of several problems. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how we were able to convey your letter to your father in heaven.

Avoiding stars and other astronomical objects on the way to heaven was a challenging task. I will continue to do all in my power to ensure a safe delivery to paradise.”

When Jase and his mother, Teri Copland, heard the reaction, they were both moved and overwhelmed. Teri decided to share the letter on social media, and it instantly went viral.

“I cannot express how emotional he is knowing his father received his card,” she posted on Facebook. “You didn’t have to make the effort; you could have just ignored it, but the fact that you did for a little boy you’ve never met is such a lovely thing to do.”

Royal Mail, you’ve just restored my faith in mankind, and thank you; it truly means everything to him.”

This simply goes to show how a random act of kindness can make a significant impact on someone else’s life! God bless Sean for taking the time to brighten the day of a youngster!
