A week later, a letter arrived to reassure him that his touching note to great-nan Monica, who died last month, was on “a very special journey to the stars so that it reaches her today”.
It was signed by Vincent Eames, Royal Mail Pearly Gates Response Unit.
Dylan’s mum Rachel, 31, of Reading, said: “It was just the nicest thing. It’s definitely helped Dylan with his grief.
“It was his first experience of loss and he is autistic so struggled to understand the emotion he was feeling.
“I spoke to my postman about it and she said it’s very rare for an employee to go above and beyond like that. It’s really quite special.
“The fact that he went out of his way to make a little boy feel better really is something.
