This is a very emotional entry in The Postables series where Oliver finds out about his real father.

I wept like a baby during this emotional entry in The Signed, Sealed and Delivered (Postables) series. It's Shane's birthday and she meets Oliver's father Joe O'Toole...then finds out that Oliver is estranged from him.

Meanwhile the Postables latest case is a letter from a soldier to another soldier's daughter. Norman's expertise of being fatherless and in the foster system came in to play in this entry as he comforts and empathizes with a young girl who is being bullied by her classmates.

There are some beautiful quotes and the concept of what it is to be a parent is a big theme in this entry. I have really grown to love this series based on the dead letter department at the post office that is filled with a tight knit group of unusual characters who use their skills to deliver letter to their rightful owners.

My favorite scene is when Oliver tells Miss McInerny "when have you ever done what I have said" and she just envelopes him in a massive hug. It was a beautiful and touching scene.

Trivia
Shane returns to the DLO with her box of belongings, which means the movie must take place immediately after the previous movie ("From Paris with Love").

Goofs
This movie takes place just a few days after the last movie so when Oliver's biological father died Oliver was still married to Holly. It's not likely either Oliver or Holly even had time to file for divorce yet. So as his wife Holly should have received half the inheritance Oliver got from his father and yet she is never mentioned in the context of the inheritance. In the next movie Shane mentions that Oliver is "freshly although amicably divorced" but still nothing is said about Holly receiving any of the inheritance.

Quotes
Oliver O'Toole: As you know my relationship with my father is none of your business. However such details never seem to stand in the way of your curiosity so I'll make this very simple. My parents were divorced when I was 13, the first divorce ever in the O'Toole family line. I remained with my father. My mother, a lovely but restless spirit, left and married a man I never met.
Shane McInerney: No wonder you-
[Hesitates]
Oliver O'Toole: No wonder what?
Shane McInerney: Well, your mother left you in search of adventure and your wife left you in search of... something. It must be hard for you to imagine any woman in your life actually staying in your life.
Oliver O'Toole: I thought we were talking about my father.
Shane McInerney: Right.
