My Cousin sent me this in an email from Texas 
Please read, it's very touching 
Our dog Abbey died Aug. 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 God 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 Mer. So, she took it inside and opened it.
Inside was a book, When Your Pet Dies, by Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers).
On the front cover was the letter we had written to God , in its envelope
(opened). 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 Mer,
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, Mer, she isn't sick anymore. 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 wonderfu l mother you have. I picked her especially for you.
God blesses you every day and remember, I love you very much. By
the way, I am in heaven and everywhere there is love.
Signed,
God, and one of his special angels (who wrote this letter after God
told HER the words)."
How wonderful is that! I never knew there were angels working at
the post office!
