A letter from the Post Office...this is
absolutely the best!!
We don't know who replied, but there is a
beautiful soul working in the dead
letter office
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.
The day after she passed away 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, and
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 'm 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 swim and play with balls.
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 & Meredith ,
addressed it to God/Heaven.
We put our return address on it.
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 and I
recognized her 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'm 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
This isn't my family in this story, it was sent to me through email from a friends, and i thought i would share it with all my friends here, a touching story :)
