and thank you for being exemplary exceptional and extraordinary I am NOT I
cannot put my finger on the first day that I met Floyd but I know that he came
with the house
he would always have lollipops for the kids and they would wait for him to come
deliver the mail and we all loved him I called him like his if they're on my
route they're my kids he was just kind of been a part of our family ever since
elderly neighbors he checks in on them he feeds like cat feral cats who don't
have a home I mean he's just almost too good to be true these are my people
they love me I love them and that's something something very
special
one thing that was important is that we wanted to be super inclusive and really
wanted to invite everybody on his route which is over 500 houses so we figured
out what his route was and we just old-school put flyers in people's
mailboxes
we encouraged everybody to decorate their mailboxes it was just amazing and
it showed you what a sweeping impact he had on people because I mean I would say
75 to 80% of the mailboxes were decorated
I was just overwhelmed I was speechless I could not believe that they did all
that for me I was just in my thoughts doing my job just being me but I did it
right I did it right
and I mean I think that he exemplified just go just going the extra-mile you
know I never expected to see good coming my way but boy has it it's been
overflowing
I mean they were cheering and screaming and whistling all this was for me and it
was such a beautiful moment that I had to talk myself through it just to get
through the crowd I I was so taken by all of this this these acts of love they
were there for me
I know all this has happened but it's just I keep thinking I'm gonna wake up
from a dream at some moment but this this is my life
now and I love it
I gave people my best I showed them my best and they received it and I'm
grateful I'm grateful you
you
