EDGEWATER, Fla. (WESH) - A four-year-old Florida girl is celebrating her late mother's birthday by sending a cake to heaven.
Jessica Graham, who would have turned 30 on Saturday, died two years ago from a sudden illness. Her daughter, Bella, whipped up a cake with her grandmother to celebrate.
"They mail hundreds of thousands of letters to Santa Claus every year, so heaven wasn't that much further, right?" said Bella's grandmother Laura Fisher.
Fisher tries to keep the memories of her daughter alive for Bella and for the little girl, birthdays are a big deal.
"She started expressing concern that mommy wouldn't have a birthday cake in heaven," she said.
So Bella, her grandmother, and some extended family baked a cake and addressed it to Jessica in heaven. Fisher reached out to the Edgewater Post Office, where workers opened a special line just for the special cake.
"They said this line was for people shipping to heaven only," Fisher said. "They put a stamp on it, they guaranteed her that the cake would arrive before mommy's birthday."
Fisher told WESH-TV in Orlando the postal workers gave Bella the gift of time and attention and did a wonderful job letting her send her cake to her mother.

"She was so happy. She gave me a high five. She was, like, 'Mommy's going to have a birthday cake! She's going to have a party!'" Fisher said.
Fisher said she knows postal workers get a lot of grief, but she says the staff was a godsend to a child shipping a package to heaven.
"They have no idea how much it meant to her to be able to do that for her mom," she said.
