Letter to God when a 14 yr. old dog died, written by little girl.

WOW! Please take a minute to read this adorable story! --->
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away 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, and 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 swim and play with balls. 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 and I recognized her 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

J-Kay-2, I read a story similar to this one in a book from Guideposts. A child's dog had died, and the child wanted to send the dog a letter to heaven. He wrote the letter and put it in an envelope, put the dogs name and heaven's address (lol) on it, and gave it to the mail person. The child's mother saw the mail person's confused look when she saw the letter addressed to heaven, so the mother explained that the dog had died, and the child was upset and wanted to write his beloved dog a letter. The mail carrier took it to the post office and wrote a reply letter back to the child, in the form of a letter from the dog. :) In part, the letter said, "please dont grieve for me now. I am happy now, and there's lots of other dogs to play with and I have alot of balls to play with." The mail carrier signed the letter with the dogs name. When the child got the letter and read it, he was assured that his beloved pal was happy with God in heaven. This is a true story. Is'nt it nice to know that there are kind-hearted people out there who care so much that they do such a wonderful thing for a child's peace of mind?!! :)

Yes, I am aware of this being around before. On Facebook it did show
a little girl and a big black dog. If this is new, I would not say. I thought
it sounded somewhat familiar.... But, I really copied and pasted it as it
was posted there. The photo did not come with me. Sorry....
