| Mailman Mike and Carter Lawson delivering mail. |
In this age of electronic communications, it's a little boy who loves the man who delivers the mail. And both man and boy go the second mile for their customers. Once Carter spots his friend, they join together for their task of mail deliveries.
Along the way, man and boy have conversations about just about anything. Mailman Mike keeps an eye out for his young friend's safety, avoiding any hazards along the route. Carter returns the favor by helping Mike sort the mail and place the mail in recipients' mailboxes.
Cassie Lawson, Carter's mom, has been rather impressed with her special mail deliverer, who has been on their route for the past nine months. She's rather aware that taking her son with him doesn't really come in the job description, "Anyone could be just like 'Go away kid', but Mike has really gone out of his way to interact with Carter, and it's been really cute."
It all started out when Carter thought the mailman had a really cool truck. But then when the days got hotter, Carter would bring out some water and a snack, and then Mike would give Carter some candy and pieces of mail for his home.
Then one day, Carter came out fully dressed for mail delivery in an outfit that matched Mike's. Mike said, "I just couldn't believe he got a full mailman's costume." The costume also came complete with a small mailbag, too. The admiration is mutual. Mike said, "Every letter carrier has stops he looks forward to and this is the one I look forward to every day."
The two are a common sight in the neighborhood together, walking along, chatting with neighbors and each other, and delivering the mail. It's not often that a worker gets a fan, especially one that is so close and personal, and also helps complete the job at hand.
