Lovely
Dit zat daarnet in de mailbox van mijn bazin:
This is the kindest thing you may ever see..
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 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'm easy to find, I am wherever there
is love.
Love, God

Mijn naam is Marian en ik ben dit blog in april 2010 begonnen.Toen waren zowel Max als Bente er nog,maar vanaf nu zal alleen Kiki de hondse bevolking van dit blog vertegenwoordigen omdat zowel Max als Bente inmiddels overleden zijn. Bente moest ik op 23-11-2010 laten gaan en Max op 11-4-2011. De naam van het blog blijft ter ere van Max en Bente het zelfde,maar de hoofdrolspeelster is veranderd.
