Lover I hope you are going on out there and taking photos anyway It is a good way of getting to look at things that interest you, attract you and that you find beautiful. Then all that looking at beautiful and interesting stuff makes you feel good. Only some of it is about the photo.

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, MeredithWe 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, GodDon't say you're too busy to share this ... Just go ahead and do it!!!

If you click the little box that says "photo" you can see the picture of the little girl and her dog....

BEAUTIFUL!!!
-
My kind of hugs too!!
-
Btw, can't see the picture of the little girl and her pup. It is heart warming to know that there are caring people out there who take the time out to do things tocomfort that child.
-
Those kinds of hugs are like holding a baby. When I hold a wee one, I feel all the tension in my body leave and become very relaxed.
-
AWHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes
-
This isn't the same picture.... that one was on FB, and it didn't come through... but this is another one...
-
Awwww, I can see the love they had for each other. Thank you, Ms. Chevy.
