| I Got This Emal Today and I had to pass it on... THE POSTAL SERVICE NO ONE HEARS ABOUT > > 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. > She dictated and I wrote: > > Dear God, > > Will you please take special care of our dog, Abbey? She died yesterday > and is in heaven. We miss her very much. We are happy that you let us > have her as our dog even though she got sick. I hope that you will play > with her. She liked to play with balls and swim before she got sick. I > am sending some pictures of her so that when you see her in heaven you > will know she is our special dog. But I really do miss her. > Love, > Meredith Claire > > We put that in an envelope with two pictures of Abbey, and addressed it > to God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. > > Then Meredith stuck some stamps on the front (because, as she said, it > may take lots of stamps to get a letter all the way to heaven), and that > afternoon I let her drop it into the letter box at the post office. > > For a few days, she would ask 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. > Curious, I went to look at it. It had a gold star card on the front and > said "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith took it in and opened > it. > > Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers, "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, one of the pictures of Abbey was taped > under the words "For Meredith". > We turned to the back cover, and there was the other picture of Abbey, > and this handwritten note on pink paper: > > "Dear Meredith, > > I know that you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived safely and > soundly in Heaven! Having the pictures you sent to me was such a big > help. I recognized Abbey right away. > > You know, Meredith, she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with > me--just like she stays in your heart--young and running and playing. > Abbey loved being your dog, you know. > > Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets!-- so > I can't keep your beautiful letter. I am sending it to you with the > pictures so that you will have this book to keep and remember Abbey. One > of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope the little book > helps. > > Thank you for the beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it. > 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 am in heaven, but wherever there is love I am there also. > > Love, > God |

| OMG I'm in tears right now! That's beautiful! Tia is on my lap while I'm writing this and she's looking at my face like "What's wrong, mommy?" Pardon me while I give her a squeeze and a kiss right now...
