    May 19, 2015 ·

    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

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

    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.

    MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

    This needs no explanation - and is a fun read, no matter your gender.

    Men Are Just Happier People.

    What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

    Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

    A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

    You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives On December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.

    NICKNAMES

    � If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.

    � If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.

    EATING OUT

    � When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

    � When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

    MONEY

    � A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

    � A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

    BATHROOMS

    � A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.

    � The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

    ARGUMENTS

    � A woman has the last word in any argument.

    � Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

    FUTURE

    � A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

    � A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

    MARRIAGE

    � A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

    � A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

    DRESSING UP

    � A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

    � A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

    NATURAL

    � Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

    � Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

    OFFSPRING

    � Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

    � A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

    A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
