To wish her mother – who recently died of cancer- a happy Mother’s Day in heaven, the Scottish Ella Lennon sent her mother a letter and drawing per mail. She’d never expected to get this heartwarming reply…
Letter to: ’1 Angel Gate in the clouds, heaven’
Ella Lennon, aged four, popped a special "mum in a minion" card in a postbox only four months after losing her mother Jennifer. The letter was addressed to ’1 Angel Gate in the clouds, heaven’.
Sharing the sweet story on Twitter, Jennifer’s sister Linda Ross, 24, said: ” On my sister’s 1st heavenly Mother’s Day Ella sent her mummy a card, today a kind stranger from the Royal Mail used their time to reply and make a little girl so happy! Her face lit up with the biggest smile, Just shows the amazing people in this world! Can’t thank you enough ❤️✨ Source: Twittter – Lindaa_x
Cancer nurse Linda later added that they read the reply away from Ella first to make sure it was appropriate – and found the wording “suitable to her mum’s memory and character”. Source: Twitter – Lindaa_x
Jennifer’s husband thanks the Royal Mail
Dean Lennon, 30, – Ella’s dad and Jennifer’s husband – added: "I would like to thank the kind-hearted person at the Royal Mail who sent Ella back a letter from her mummy in heaven.
"Her wee face was lit up."
