Kalibeck

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'm really sorry, Kali.  It is so hard to see a child lose a beloved animal. Hopefully the new pups will ease the depth of it somewhat.

Take care.

This was not a loss my family experienced....thank you for your kind expressions of sympathy all the same....this was an e-mail that I tried to post that didn't quite make it onto the post in it's complete form. I'm sorry, I usually check them after I post, to make sure I didn't screw up, but I was so tired this am I did not. So, I'll try again, and thanks everyone, you guys are great! jackie harris

This was a story I received via e-mail, & thought I would share.....

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

What a wonderful thing for somone at the post office to do. No wonder the dog ws 14 years old>she ws loved by a family.

very sweet story and how nice "someone" at the post office was, to take the time and effort to buy the book and write the letter for the little girl.
