> 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
>
> Don't say you're too busy to forward this. Just go ahead and do it.
