✉️ You've got mail

When Portland, Maine, resident Jessica Means went to check her mail last week, she was surprised to find a postcard from an unknown sender.

Not only did she not recognize the name at the bottom of the card from Paris, but it was postmarked and signed in 1969 – or 54 years ago. 

🔎 Unraveling the mystery... It turns out, the postcard was intended for the original owners of Jessica's home and had somehow got lost in transit. A new poststamp from July 12th of this year was added to the card, but no one seems to know who finally sent it her way – or where it had disappeared to for all those years. 

• “I’d really like to say thank you to whoever decided to put a stamp on the postcard and drop it in the mail on July 12,” Jessica told Bangor Daily News. “I’m sure they knew the intended recipients were long gone and yet they chose to mail it anyway. I just want that person to know that the card not only made it but that that one small, simple gesture made my day.”
