Mr. Mark had been delivering mail in this neighborhood for over 25 years. On his last day of work, he was met with smiles, words of thanks, and gifts. But at the last house, a surprise awaited him that made his heart stop and his eyes go wide…

Mr. Mark had worked as a postman in the same neighborhood for more than 25 years. Every house, every street was familiar to him down to the smallest detail. He delivered letters, envelopes, newspapers — and over time, he became more than an acquaintance, almost like family to the residents.

That morning, on his last day, he walked the streets, and every greeting, every smile seemed part of a grand farewell ritual.

On the doorsteps, words of thanks, small gifts, and sweets awaited him — the residents wanted to show appreciation for all the years of faithful service.

Finally, he arrived at the last house and knocked. In front of him stood Jenny.

— Mr. Mark, you were delivering mail to us back when I was a child. I think you deserve a special gift, — she said with a smile, inviting him inside.

When the postman stepped inside and saw the gift waiting for him, he literally froze in shock.
Mr. Mark stood in the doorway, unable to believe his eyes. On the table lay a carefully wrapped package, and next to it a small card that read:

“Thank you for all these years. You have become part of our lives.”

Jenny smiled:
— I wanted this gift to remind you how much you have meant to all of us.

With trembling hands, the postman unwrapped the package and saw something he had never expected: inside was a photo album filled with pictures of his deliveries, letters, children’s drawings, and small thank-you notes.

Every address, every smile, every celebration — all gathered in a touching gift.

— I… I don’t know what to say… — he murmured, tears welling in his eyes.

Jenny placed a hand on his shoulder:
— You deserve this, Mr. Mark. You have always been more than a postman. You have become a friend, a part of our family.

At that moment, he realized that every year, every street, every house — it had not just been work.
It was a life full of human warmth and gratitude, and no gift could ever measure what he had received over those 25 years.
