With much of the world feeling alienated right now, it's nice to read happy and wholesome stories of how people are managing to connect with one another despite the isolating effects of the pandemic. Twitter user Hugh Weber took to the site with a heartwarming tale about his eleven year old daughter, Emerson. The girl has a love for writing beautiful letters, and after thanking her local mailman for his duties with a decorated message, she attracted the attention of his supervisor, Sara.
