Woman Received a Postcard 26 Years Late Then Tracked Down Its Sender

Kim Draper of Springfield, Illinois recently received a postcard in her mailbox. But there’s something unusual about this postcard: it was sent 26 years ago. The (super) late postcard started Draper on a hunt for its original sender and intended recipient, she told The State Journal Register.

The postcard, which was dated July 8, 1993 was addressed to a Leena and Muhammad Ali Kizilbash from their father. For a postcard that stayed in the mail system for around 26 years, Draper was amazed that it managed to retain its quality.  

Associated Press has picked up the story and added that the postcard will be reunited back to its original recipient:

With the help of social media, Draper learned that Kizilbash’s son, Mohammad Kizilbash, now lives in suburban Chicago. A reunion with the postcard is planned.
“I thought that was really gracious of her, she went out of her way to track us down,” Mohammad said. “I’m looking forward to getting this postcard. This is one to keep.”
