Happy Furry Friday!

Got this sent to me yesterday.

 

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see..

 

It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in

the dead letter office of the US 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 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
