Can you imaging working at one employer your entire life and NEVER taking a sick day?!\u00a0 44 years?!<\/p>\n

Meet Deborah Ford, a U.S. Postal Service employee in Detroit who has delivered mail for 44 years straight.\u00a0 She has such genuine dedication to her work.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

When asked if she has ever been sick, she says “Well little minor illnesses, but you shake it off.\u00a0 You’ll feel better when you get there.”<\/p>\n

“Didn’t you want to go to your mailbox and get a letter?”, she continued, “When you go to that mailbox to get a letter, I want to make sure you get one.”<\/p>\n

Well said Deborah!\u00a0 She will retire with 4,508 hours in sick leave which will give her a 5% increase in pension.<\/p>\n

We at Good World News wish you a wonderful retirement Deborah.<\/p>\n
