Postal Angels
Fw: Postal Angels
> THIS WILL MOST SURELY BRING A SMILE and A TEAR
> great dog story....
>This puts a new slant on "going postal" ... Hope it catches on!
>
>Our dog Abbey died Aug. 23, and the day after Abbey died, my 4 year old,
>Meredith, was SO upset.
>She wanted to write a letter to God so that God 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 putit 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 on Labor Day, we took the kids to the museum in Austin, 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). On the front cover was the letter we had written to
>God, in its envelope (opened). 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 mother for
>sending it. What a wonderful mother you have. I
>picked her especially for you.
>God blesses you every day and remember, I love you very much. By the way, I
>am in heaven and everywhere there is love.
>Signed,
>God, and one of his special angels (who wrote this letter after God told
>HER the words)."
>
>How wonderful is that! I never knew there were angels working the post
>office!

That's wonderful! 
Good for the Post Office for taking the time to do that for that little girl. Abbey was one lucky little dog!
