One day, she took an unusual interest in checking the mailbox, making it a daily ritual.

Her mother noticed Lily becoming more introspective and protective of the mail, sparking

curiosity and concern.One morning, after Lily left for school, her mother checked the mailbox

and found a stack of letters addressed to their mail carrier, Mrs. Thompson. Reading them,

she discovered that Lily had been writing to comfort Mrs. Thompson,

who had recently lost her daughter. Lily shared stories about school, her love for butterflies,

and memories of baking cookies with her mother. Mrs. Thompson had replied,

expressing how much Lily’s words meant to her.Overwhelmed with pride,

Lily’s mother encouraged their friendship. Eventually, they invited Mrs.

Thompson over for tea, sharing laughter, stories, and homemade cookies.

Seeing their bond, Lily’s mother realized how a small act of kindness could bring healing

and connection. As Lily asked if their friendship would last forever, her mother assured

her that the kindness they shared would always endure.
