I saw this on another forum and had to share, its wonderful, I wonder what with our postal strike if a child would get the same service here.
THIS IS A U.S. POSTAL SERVICE STORY

Our dog, Abbey, died August 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 He 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 put it 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 today is 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).

Inside the front cover was the letter we

had written to God, in its opened envelope. 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 any more. 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.

Signed, God

This is a true story, I love that we have

angels among us, some of them even work at the

Post Office
