It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years ofcarrying the mail through all kinds ofweather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on


 his route, the family greeted him warmly with a big farewell party. They had prepared a heartfelt thank-you card and a generous gift to express their gratitude for his years of service. Moved by their gesture, the mailman thanked them and continued on his route.

At the second house, he was welcomed with a homemade cake and a warm hug from the residents. They shared stories of how he had brightened their days with his friendly demeanor and reliable service. The mailman felt touched by their kindness and thanked them sincerely before moving on.

As he made his way down the street, each house had something special for him. Some gave him small tokens of appreciation, while others shared fond memories of their interactions over the years. Despite the bittersweetness of his last day, the mailman felt grateful for the relationships he had built in the neighborhood.
