Our 14 year old dog, Abbey died last month. 
 
The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying that when Abbey got to heaven, God wouldn't recognize her, and could we send him a letter? 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... 
 
Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps on the front of the envelope to get the letter all the way to Heaven. That afternoon, I drove Meredith to the Post office andwatched her drop it in a letter box.. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. 
 
I told her that I was certain 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

WELCOME TO WISHLAMP 2010!

www.WISHLAMP.com was created by Bryan R. Jenks of JENKS INDUSTRIES in the effort to help others help others. When It was first created it was on it's own web site and had many people's music and art from all over the world. but one day got hacked into and all that information was lost. Bryan's health is not the best & is is very hard for him to build back what he once had by himself. So he rebuilt what he could piggybacked on many other networks. The sad part about that is... those networks never seem to stay. (MSN, Yahoo 360 and so on. so he keeps building them up... and once that network falls he has to start all over.)

Right now Bryan had a mini stroke in August 2009 and has been off work with out pay ever since. It has been very hard for him these past months. So that is why I'm asking for him... for your help. He needs people who are willing to take up a subject. (Cars, child care, what ever) and just write about it. that's all you have to do... at least once a month. It would make a difference. WISHLAMP also can be found on FaceBook, Multipy, MySpace, Windows Live, & WISHLAMP YAHOO GROUP so if you have one of these as well as another type of blog... you can help by posting on your blog what you would and copy it on the WISHLAMP page as well.

Also anyone who needs help, or can help someone. please feel feel to post your wishes as well in the correct subject. If you just want to sell something... you can do that as well.. but please post in the correct subject. or use our BUY N SELL or  CLASSIFIED ADD links. (Please do not post your sales adds in the wrong subject. this is unfair to all as well as yourself... per no one that you want will be looking for it if it's in the wrong location.)

If you have any questions feel free to contact us as thewishlamp@hotmail.com or jenksindustries@hotmail.com

May your wish come true at www.WISHLAMP.com

If you have any pets or favorite animals, Please post pictures & stories of them here.
