There's Still Nice People Out There

I received this in my email sometimes ago and it brought tears to my eyes...hihi! Now you know I am a touchy one. But ain't it great to know there are still wonderful people out there?

This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, 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

What a beautiful story. God bless the beautiful soul, Meredith and her mom as well.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful story.

Children Ho Ho Ho Party

Last Sunday Billy was invited to a Children Christmas Party in Knoxville. That was his very 1st Christmas party. The place was quite huge and they have a big dance floor that never empty the whole two hours the party went on. There were about 60 or so children in the party. It's fun to see the children including Billy dancing while some were just exploring the big floor…. LOL!



She tried a couple of time to get Billy to dance with her. Isn’t she adorable?

Hmmm, wish I had one of that at home. Maybe that was what he had in mind. LOL!

They are cheering for Billy.

One little girl tried to hold his hands a couple time and get him dancing with her but he refused. He just ignored her and kept dancing. It’s hilarious.

But minutes later he showed off his little dance to a group of young girls. They clapped and dance with him. Oh boy, does he loves being in the middle of attention. LOL! Unfortunately I only managed to get a few shots before my camera battery went dead. :-(

Glad we came to the party despite bad weather the whole day. Billy had tremendous fun dancing, took pic with santa and met lots of new friends.

It’s been a long week.

Aaah! I've been neglected my blog for almost two weeks. :-(
It was quite hard weeks for me. One of my family member's back home was pretty sick but thank God I got great news this morning. So happy to hear he is feeling better today. Doctor assured them he would fully recovered with just taking meds continuously, it will take a while but he is recovering. What a wonderful news. :-) Thank God.

Having so much fun, eh!

Caught on camera by mommy. My little darling just don't care about the candies as he was busy dancing. LOL!! Oak Ridge 2007 Christmas Parade.
