Wes Winter was out delivering the mail one day when he met a 4 year-old boy named Logan on his route. Little Logan did not care that it was freezing cold outside and that he was only wearing a T-shirt, as all he wanted to do was see his mailman idol.

Logan had always dreamed of becoming a mailman, and he completely idolized Wes. Their meeting always stood out in Wes’s mind, so on his last day delivering the mail, he wrote Logan a touching letter that has since gone viral. Here’s what he had to say:

“Hello Little Mailman,

Sorry I’m typing this, I’m afraid if I wrote it by hand you’d never be able to read it.

I only met you once. It was cold outside and I was running late. You were sitting on the porch waiting for me to come around. You were wearing a tee-shirt and USPS baseball cap and it was probably 30 degrees, but you didn’t care, you just wanted to see the mailman.

I don’t know why, but it meant a lot to me, little dude.

Today is my last day delivering mail. I really enjoyed it, but I went to school for something else and I found a job that fits me better. And there’s always a chance I’ll be back. Life’s funny that way.

There’s a job called a Postal Inspector that I’m really interested in, but they don’t hire people too often. It’s like being a policeman, but for letters and packages. I promise you’ll be the first one I tell if I get that job!

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a gift so you don’t freeze the next time you’re waiting for the next regular mailman to make his way around the block. And don’t worry if you decide it’s not what you want to do when you grow up. I haven’t been working that long and I’ve already been a mailman, a mechanic, a cashier and a carpenter. Just find your thing and don’t lose the spark.

From your #1 fan,

Wes Winter “

Logan’s aunt shared the letter to social media, adding that it made the little boy’s day and that he never takes off the hat Wes gave him, even when he goes to sleep!
