What a lovely little story to remind us that life really can be beautiful. 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 thought 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 golden 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 dont 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

I am wiping the tears from my eyes as I type this. This means so much to me to be reading this. It is true that God is where ever there is love.
After my foster son died this past January I was so sad and even angry that someone had taken his life, I felt bitternes and hatred for the woman who had killed him, and wanted revenge. That anger was like a cancer growing in me. I also wrote a letter to God asking why Markie had been taken so cruely away from my life, he was in his prime and had just had a wonderful son and had everything to live for. I did not send the letter, I put it in my dresser drawer and would read it at night before I went to sleep and kept hoping I would get an answer in my dreams. It was not long before I got my answer to why my Markie had been taken from me. One night not long after I wrote that letter trying to ease my pain, I got my answer. One night I opened my drawer to read my letter to God yet one more time, and written upon the letter at the bottom was an answer in what looked like Markie's writing saying "it was my time to go. I will be waiting for your here, and then we will see each other again., do not cry for me, I am doing what is my destiny and we will be together again soon"
I could not stop crying and was able to let my anger at God for taking my Markie slip away and I got on with life. This is a true story. Don't know if my roomie saw my letter and decided to put down what I wanted to hear....but at any rate it worked and now I dream of Markie often at night, and see him so full of love and joy and I am no longer paralyzed with pain. I know I will see all my departed loved ones soon and together we share love and be love.
I felt a vibe of energy flowing when reading this. :)
What a warm story, thank you for posting this Rune!
