The Letter That Arrived 20 Years Late But Right on Time

Everyone has stories about the post office losing mail or packages arriving late, but what happened to me last week defies all logical explanation.I walked out to my mailbox on a Tuesday, expecting nothing but the usual bills and junk mail. But buried beneath a stack of flyers for pizza and insurance was a small, yellowed envelope that looked like it had been through a war. The corners were bent, the paper was brittle, and it bore a stamp that hadn't been in circulation for decades.When I looked at the handwriting in the center of the envelope, my heart nearly stopped beating. It was the distinct, slanted script of my father.
