Dear God,
Reading the messages from all these people puts life in such a widespread perspective. I can’t say I really know why I am writing this, to be honest I don’t have any sort of firm belief in a God but I am assured that there’s something greater than life unknown to us out there.
I have recently been feeling very emotional and spaced by life but in no way on the same scale as some of the people writing to you here. Today I have remembered my brother who passed away in 1999 more than I have in a long time in that I looked further into the rare syndrome he had (Crouzon’s syndrome) as at the time I was too young to understand. Remembering what my parents and he had gone through all over again was strange and made me cry for him. I still find it difficult to talk about even to my parents although I have reached acceptance of his passing. I often pray to him and believe that he is still with me and my family in spirit in someway. He is my guardian angel and I will always love him and miss him deeply. I thought to myself today about what my life might be like if I had him around and I realised how hard it is now to imagine him existing in my life as it is now since moving and my parents divorcing. In retrospect I appreciate that his early departure was probably for the best so he didn’t have to suffer so much but i miss him so much. Life is so strange and indescribable really, the things that happen to people, the different pathways, the way that the consequences of such small decisions can change so much. And how there are so so many different people’s lives and stories out there all completely different. Thank you for bringing me a good life. I won’t say that it’s perfect and right now I’m finding it tough but I like to think that there’s such a thing as fate and that we’re all here and everything happens for a reason. I know that things will improve and all you can do is look ahead. I think if anything I’m writing this just to clear my head and say thank you rather than to ask anything of you. If there is anything to ask it would be to bring happiness to my boyfriend. I don’t know what it is exactly that he’s going through right now but please help me to have patience with him and to understand. Keep him safe and bring him back to me when I next see him. He’s not been himself lately since we’ve been living further apart and I love him so much. I just want the old him back. I’d also like to just mention how inspirational this site is and how moving it is to read everyone’s prayers. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx p.s. thank you for music. Moved, UK

(I am the person that wrote this letter.)
Just had to say that the most amazing thing happened to me today. This picture was sourced by dear-god.net and am sorry to say is not my own. However when I was working today I served a customer (I think she was deaf although this doesn’t really have much relevance) and she looked like so much like she could be the same woman as in this photograph. She had the same hair cut and colour, a very similar face as far as I can recall and actually wore the same or a very similar coat as well. I was completely dumbstruck at the idea that I might have had a brief encounter with the same woman depicting my letter or even if it wasn’t I think that it couldn’t simply be an unlikely coincidence. If anything should reinforce my faith I think that this must be it. I really couldn’t believe it, I had to stop myself from crying.
Where was this photo taken? Is it a possibility?
Thank you for this sign. Life is truly amazing.

Your prayer was to amazing to express what i felt when i was reading it. I also believe we all have a divine purpose although we might not understand why such horrible things happen i am pretty sure to say all our lives will be better someday. I am sure GOD has a plan and i am glad you know he does
. Love you
