I usually go to snopes.com when I need to disprove some sort of alarmist email someone sends me. It was really refreshing to read a story on snopes about a little girl who wrote a letter to God after her pet died; a postal worker responded to her with a letter “from God” along with a copy of Mr. Rogers’ book When a Pet Dies to help her cope. Snopes lists the story as being true and it is the sweetest thing I’ve read in a long time. If you’ve ever had a young child try to cope with the death of a beloved pet, it may make you cry; I did.
