    Default An angel in the post office

    I'm sorry but this is one of the sweetest things i have ever read.
    I found it on Craigslist best of. I hope its ok to post it here


    An angel in the post office

    This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a kind 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 am wherever there is love.

    Love, God

    That is so sweet! I bet letters addressed to 'God' are handled by a local church volunteer group or something. Or maybe it really was God...

    How did 'God' know it was the mother who helped her write it and send it?

    It was more than OK... It was beautiful.

    At Christmas time I always think back to when my now 20 year old daughter was at that age. It was an amazing time that I will always cherish...

    I'm just thinking the story can't be real because the return letter contained information the original letter to 'God' did not include. S'all I'm saying.

    I think it's a good point. Still a nice story, but a lot less poignant if it didn't actually happen.

    Lysondra, I understand exactly what you are saying. We will all read it and draw our own conclusions. Maybe it's real, maybe it's just a story and maybe there are men on Mars....sometimes it just doesn't matter...

    Merry Christmas
