Predicting the Future

A young man named Jason was listening to his daughter pray as he tucked her in for the night. Her daughter didn’t do or say anything unusual, except for one thing. As she was ending the prayer, she said, “God bless mom, dad, and grandma. Goodbye, grandpa.”

Curious, her dad asked why she said goodbye to grandpa. She said that she didn’t know why, but that she felt like she had to.
Jason didn’t give it any more thought and went to bed.

The next day, the family received word that grandpa had just passed away. Everyone was extremely disappointed when they heard the news. Jason remembered what his little girl said the night before. “What a crazy coincidence.”, he thought.

Several months had passed, and Jason found himself tucking in his child again. This time, she ended her prayer with “God bless mom and dad. Goodbye, grandma.”

Jason felt uneasy hearing that, but he didn’t bother asking why his child said it. He went straight to bed.

The next morning, the family was told that Grandma had passed away. “This can’t be a coincidence anymore, right?” Jason asked himself. “My daughter is predicting the future.”

And so Jason would listen in on his daughter’s prayers, hoping to get some clue as to what’s going to happen soon.

For the longest time, everything seemed normal. His daughter never said anything concerning. Until one day, Jason heard the words that he long feared.

“God bless mom. Goodbye, dad.”

Jason wasn’t able to sleep. And when he got out of bed that next morning, he was like a little boy who didn’t know what to do. His life flashed before his eyes. Still, he got dressed and went to work.

At work, he couldn’t get any job done. The man walked like there was no tomorrow. Jason truly felt that this day was going to be his last. He was so scared that he didn’t take any risks. He skipped lunch because he didn’t want to tempt fate while waiting in a long line. And when it was time to go home, he stayed in the office.

It was only after the clock struck midnight that he was able to breathe easy again.

Jason packed up his things and went home. He was greeted by his wife, who opened the front door. She asked him why did it takes so long to get home. Jason said, “I don’t want to hear it. It’s been a rough day.”

His wife replied, “Tell me about it. Our pool boy died today.”
