    This story gave me goosebumps. Also in case anyone wonders (I know so many email stories get circulated that you never know these days), Snopes confirms this story is a true one. Thank you so much for posting this. I find it inspiring, I would love to have the opportunity to do something anonymous and special like this for someone.

    This doesn't suprise me at all.

    I use to do a lot of good when I managed my own postal outlet. I helped a man learn english, & I was a shoulder to cry on many many times. A lot of depressed people have to mail bad mail & when I noticed a sad one I always asked what was wrong in hoping they would share & I might be able to make then a little happier. One lady would bring her dog in. This dog ment the world to her. In all honestly it wasn't a very pretty dog in the least. But I would grab the dog, kiss it, tell it how oh so cute it was & all kinds of other nice things... this always made the lady sooo happy!

    Many very poor people would come in & sometimes they were short & I knew their mail was important. I always dug into the mauld stamps, so the person could send the letter.

    At xmas I played a long with the whole santa thing & convinced kids santa really would reply.

    I don't know what it is with post offices, but us ladies really LOVED helping others.

    Wow that kept goosebumps running through my body, it was so amazingly sweet and kind. Whoever sent that to you, is a very kind and special person.

    It's absolutely beautiful.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.

    That was a wonderful story,When i read things like that i always start to cry,I often wonder how all my wonderful animals that i have lost are.

    I truly believe they walk beside me everyday,and are with me every waken moment.

    I lost my bandit 2 years ago to a hit and run accident,I have walked down the same path as you are now.

    I feel horrible for anyone that has to go through what we have.

    I know Bandit is free of pain now,He is in a better place,I would rather have him home,But God must have needed him for something.

    Bandit and Rocky i'm sure are looking down on us,I'm sure they are great friends also.

    Memories are the best thing,Even though they are no longer with us,We can keep there memories alive.

    You are dearly missed Rocky,You were such a handsome man.
