I came across this letter the other day and I thought I would share it with all of you. Being that we all seem to be very, very passionate animal lovers; I am sure that you will agree with me that this is just too cute and sweet!!!

GOD & THE POSTAL SERVICE:

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 her letter yet. I told her that I thought that He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, "To Meredith"! in an unfamiliar handwriting. 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 it's opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey and 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 everyday and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I am easy to find, I am wherever there is LOVE.

Love,

God

Oh, what a beautifu story. I can feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes.

Have you thought about writing a blog about animals? I think its the sort of story that would 'go viral' on some internet sites.

I can't wait to read more of your posts.

Hi Jules01! Yes, actually I do have a blog site. I post quite a bit about my "kids" and all their antics. I also upload quite a few pics so that folks can see what they are becoming. They are all doing just wonderfully. I would be thrilled for you to go and have a look at it and let me know what you think.

The blog is located at: www.abarehint.com

Thanks!!

Awwe... That is so sweet. We lost out 15 year old pomeranian a few years back and we still talk about her and tell stories about her. It's difficult to lose a pet.
