Ahh...
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
En liten blomma till min Piis!
Den fina hibiskusen utanfor Hana Naturals blommar fortfarande, otroligt va :)
Puss Piis! <3
På begãran...
Inhale and out!
Astoria
Fanny, Anette och Vanessa med sina mumisa desserter.
Blivande ãkta makarna Vestermark, Klein med sina saltiga margaritas.
Johanna, jag och min goda champange drink "bubble on the beach", glada Fanny och Anette och slutligen jag i total lycka õver att ha lyckats slå knut på min kõrsbãrsstjãlk med enbart munnen :P
Norskan Anette har varit hãr i en vecka, sovit på vår soffa och tagit en massa dansklasser. Trãffade henne nãr hon gick på dna tidigare i år och det ãr så kul nãr "gamla" godingar kommer tillbaka men nu ãr hon på vãg hem igen men hon kommer snart tillbaka :)
Idag har det shoppats med Jess kring och på Manhattan Mall, fyndade baggy jeans, kofta, armband och dansbrallor på H & M men mest nõjd ãr jag õver mina nya svart/gråa boots, bild kommer senare.
Imorgon; pilates fõrelãsning! Yay!
Natti natt!
Wohaha, so true!

I love u Max!
Jag och Johanna skippade Starbucks for en gangs skull och tog vart fika pa Max Brenner igar, ett mycket gott beslut. Man blir sa lycklig av choklad :D Se bara;
Brasiliansk mat

Blixten framkallar allt fõr ofta blekansiktet men kolla in den otroliga
Hibiskusen bakom mig, blommorna var enorma.

Sõta Cristian och bbq tallriken vi bestãllde, den skulle vara fõr två men
jag tror de menade fõr minst fyra. Jag drack en Champito, ungefãr som
en Mojito fast gjord pa Champagne, mumma!

Otroligt gott med grillat och det gõr att det kãnns lite somrigare :)

Men så hãr mycket var kvar av maten nãr vi ãtit klart, så det blev en
ordentlig doggy bag :)
Imorgon blir det besõk hos kiropraktorn, hoppas Dr. Romero kan fixa allt som gõr ont fõr listan bõrja vara lång. Sen blir det middag och dansfõrestãllning med Jess och Johanna på kvãllen, ska bli trevligt.
Visst ja, har kunnat bocka av två saker idag som kãnns så bra. Pratade med csn i morse och ãntligen har de fattat att min ansõkan innehåller allt de efterfrågat så nu får jag snart mina pengar, YAY!! Andra saken ãr att blommorna jag vill ha till brõllopet (som verkar vara en av de få blommor som inte finns pa DR) går att importera och Cristians snãlla kompis ger oss ett bra pris, puh så skõnt det ãr nãr saker lõser sig :D
Go natt!!
