THIS IS BRITISH POSTAL SERVICE STORY
Our dog, Abbey, died August 23, and the day after Abbey died, my 4 year old,
Grandaughter Meredith, was SO upset. She wanted to write a letter to God so
that He
would recognize Abbey in heaven. She told me what to write, and I did.
Then she put 2 pictures of Abbey in the envelope. We addressed it to God in
Heaven, put two stamps on it because, as she said, it could be a long way to
heaven. We put our return address on it, and I let her put it in the drop
box at the post office that afternoon. She was absolutely sure that
letter would get to heaven, and I wasn't about to disillusion her.
So today is a bank-holiday We took the kids to the museum in London, and
when we
came home, there was a package wrapped in gold on our front porch. It was
addressed to Meredith. So... she took it inside and opened it. Inside was
a book, When Your Pet Dies by Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers). Inside the front
cover was the letter we had written to God, in its opened envelope. On the
opposite page was one of the pictures of Abbey taped on the page. On the
back page was the other picture of Abbey, and this handwritten note on pink
paper:
"Dear Meredith, I know that you will be happy to find out that Abbey arrived
safely and soundly in heaven. Having the pictures you sent to me was a big
help! I recognized Abbey right away! You know, Meredith, she isn't sick
anymore. Her spirit is here with me, just like it stays in your heart...
young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know.
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep
things in. So... I am sending you your beautiful letter back with the
pictures so that you will have this little memory book to keep. One of my
angels is taking care of this for me. I hope this little book will help.
Thank you for your beautiful letter. Thank your Grandma for sending it.
What
a wonderful Grandma you have. I did pick her especially for you.
Signed, God
This is a true story, I love that we have angels among us, some of them
even work at the Post Office!
