Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a letter to God to make sure he could look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated(口述) these words:
Dear God, ①you, take, dog, of, will, care, my, please(?)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, Lucy |
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:
Dear Lucy, Abbey has arrived in heaven. She isn't sick any more. ②Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about her. She's being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. ③You have a wonderful mother.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 |
