| Touching poem Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:* Dear God,* Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.* I hope you will play with her.. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.* Love, Meredith* We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it.. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.* Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand.. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:* Dear Meredith,* Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.* Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. *I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.* Love,* God* |

| That is such a touching story. God is so good. He seen that the letter got into the right hands and I know it helped your little girl so much to know that her doggie is fine and with God. What a unique thing to do. |

| I can't begin to put into words how this touched my heart. You are such a wonderful mom, with a very smart little four-year old daughter. Bless the person at the post office for seeing that the letter was answered. This is something your little girl will remember and treasure forever. I am sorry for the loss of your beloved little baby. It hurts to lose our pets that we were blessed to have for so many years.

| I am crying so hard can't see the screen. Thank you for sharing this. It is amazing that a 4 year old has a heart this good, I am sure mom and God are the biggest reason. In this world today children only hope is to be raised in church. I guess you will never know who sent the book but that person must also believe in God. I am sure this story will touch someones life so they can know how amazing God is. Thank you for sharing this and making today a better day. Sorry for your loss. You and Meredith are in my prayers.

| Thanks so much for sharing this. God made dogs the same day he made people, he knew we needed eachother. Dogs teach us some of God's most important wisdom. |
