Lilly Sedlak lost her beloved dad, Brandon, due to medical complications and then weeks later she also lost her godfather.

It was too much for the little girl to take, and so her mother wanted to ease her pain on her first birthday, by making it memorable and asked the community to send her mail, as Lilly loves getting mail.

“She’s always loved the mail. Her grandmother would take her to get the mail, and she just loves to do it. She’s a little helper. She just loves to do everything for everyone,” her mom said and shared a post on Facebook about it.

“Lillian LOVES mail. She loves the mailman, she loves getting the mail from the mailbox & she LOVES when there is mail for HER,” she wrote in the post. “I am reaching out to ask if anyone would be willing to mail her a birthday card, drawing, or letter. She does not need gifts but she really loves to open cards and letters and look at the pretty pictures.”

She also mentioned that Lilly’s “favorite color is violet, she loves unicorns and all things magical as well as flowers & animals of all kinds especially if they are cute!” And the community did not fail her, Lilly had 75 cards in the mailbox and on another day she received 85 cards.

“Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.””
