Sometimes it's the little things in life. Your parents taking time to talk to Walt on his mail route. Often times mail carriers don't know the people they deliver to. No one makes an effort and they only think of the mail carrier if the mail is late. Your parents set the stage for this long time friendship.

Sometimes it is easy to focus on those who are unkind. Thank you for sharing this story of a truly kind person. It reminds one that there are many good ones out there. So sorry about your mom. Lost my dear mom Dec. 18, 2020 and miss her every day. Maureen Howell

Wow, this really touched my heart. With all that happens in the world, some good and bad, it's nice to know that there are still compassionate people in the world. He delivered more than what could possibly be held in a human beings hand, but rather something far more valuable and precious to your mothers heart, and the rest of the Bondy family. Walt, you're a great man!

What a wonderful story and what an incredible man is Walt. Kindness is in his heart and he’s definitely much more than a mail carrier. God bless him for caring and going that extra step.

I am praying for you Dave, because as I have said several times, you have been a great friend for me in social media. As you know, also I have experienced the difficult task of losing my parents, and I understand the feeling immensely. I pray for you that you and your wife will make it through this difficult time.

When I was growing up we had the same mailman the whole time. Most of the residents on my street gave him a Christmas card each year with a little bonus. Everyone liked him.
