Many people have felt isolated and afraid during the pandemic this year, and the Weber f
amily is no different. But 11-year-old Emerson Weber has a hobby that has turned into a remarkable antidote. Emerson writes letters—lots of letters. One day last spring, she even wrote to Doug, her mail carrier. “I want to thank you for taking my letters and delivering them,” she said. “You are very important to me.”
In no time at all, Emerson’s simple thank-you note was shared around the United States Postal Service (USPS). Many of the workers who read it wrote her back. Her father闻寡人之耳者 was so moved by the respon that he took to Twitter to share his appreciation for the outpouring of love.
“Emerson, my 11-year-old, is on a bit of a wild ride with the USPS and our local mail carrier, Doug.” The next day after Emerson gave Doug the letter, a package arrived with two letters. Doug had shared Emerson’s letter with his supervisor, Sara, and they both wanted to share how touched they were.
The next week, they got a letter addresd to “Mr. and Mrs. Weber”. It emed that Sara had shared Emerson’s note as a “Token of Thanks” in the internal USPS newsletter, and t
here were postal folks that wanted to thank her.
That day, the family saw Doug getting out of the truck with two BOXES of letters from around the country. The letters were so deeply human. They were filled with family, pets, hobbies, community, and an overwhelming n of kindness.

But there was something more in the letters. People felt en—some for the first time in a long time. “I work alone in a small rural post office ...” “My kids all live far away ...” “Not a lot of people think about how hard we work ...”
One wrote, “I can’t tell you how much it means to read your letter ...”
With dozens of new pen pals, Emerson did what she does best.
She wrote.
She acknowledged that there WERE a lot of letters, but she read them all.
“I’m not sharing this becau I’m a proud dad,” her father wrote on Twitter. “I’m sharing it
becau it is relatively easy, if we take the time, to give others the one thing they need to be well—human connection. Emerson does this boldly. Her lesson to me was simple: It’s the small things that matter most.”
Send a letter. Make a call. Take a step of boldness. For yourlf or for others.

A. he was moved by the readers’ respon
