A father, at night, took his three-year-old daughter to bed, told her a story, and listened to her prayers, which she ended by saying, “God bless mom, God bless papa, God bless granny, and goodbye grandpa.”
Father finds it strange and said, “Why did you say goodbye grandpa?”
His little daughter looked at him and said, “I don’t know, papa. It’s just that the thought came to me.”
The next morning grandpa died. The Father thought it was merely a strange coincidence.
A few months later, the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this: “God bless mom, God bless papa and goodbye Granny.”
The following day the grandmother died.
“My gosh,” thought the father, “this little girl is in contact with some spiritual powers.”
Several weeks later when the father put the girl to bed, the dad heard her say “God bless Mom and Goodbye papa.”
He practically went into shock. He couldn’t sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn and ran to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day and had lunch sent in, and watched the clock. He patterned if he could get by until midnight he would be OK. He felt safe within the workplace, so rather than going home at the end of the day, he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch, and jumping at every sound.
Finally, midnight arrived. He felt relieved and went home.
When he got home, his wife said, “I’ve never seen you work so late. What’s the matter?”
He said, “Please don’t ask about it. I’ve just spent the worst day of my life.”
She said, “You think, you had the worst day. You’ll never believe what happened today. This morning the mailman dropped dead at our door.”
