A LETTER FROM FRED:
Hi, Mommy and Dad-dee!
It’s me, Fred!!
I know you’re sad…and maybe even sadder today.
I know you miss me. I see you missing me. So God told me I could write you a letter today. Yep! I can do that here. I can do lots of things here in heaven.
Dad-dee….remember how you always wondered if dogs could tell time? Well yes, I could. But here, there is no time. It’s hard to explain. Here there’s no yesterday or tomorrow or anything like that. There’s now and there’s LOVE. I know it’s been a year since I got here, but that’s only because God told me this was going to be a tough day for you and mommy. I know sometimes you say it feels like yesterday because you're so sad. Sometimes it feels like yesterday for me too, but in a good way.
Here's a little secret. Dad-dee, you know when you think you see me out of the corner of your eye? Sometimes, I sneak so I can be closer to you and mommy. You’re not supposed to be able to see me, but sometimes I don’t move away fast enough, because I want you to think about me and know I love you. I know you sometimes have dreams about me too. That’s another way God says I can visit you. He knows you miss me.
And Mommy? Those puppy woofs you think hear in the middle of the night? That’s my way of telling you I’m right there with you because you love me soooo much. Remember dad-dee used to tell you that you loved me too much? There’s no such thing as too much love. And yes, I hear you tell me, “I love you, little man” every night. Oh, and I know that every night you tell God to hug me. He does! And do you know what? To me, it feels just like it’s YOU hugging me and holding me.
