His daughter wanted to say a prayer before sleeping, so the father listened. “God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless Grandma, Goodbye Grandpa,” the little girl recited.
The father, puzzled, asked, “Why did you say goodbye Grandpa?”
The little girl replied innocently, “I don’t know, it just seemed like the right thing to say.”
The next morning, the family received news that the grandfather had indeed passed away. The father initially thought it was just a very lucky coincidence.
However, as time passed, the father couldn’t shake the feeling that his daughter might have some sort of premonition about family deaths. He began to suspect that this was no mere coincidence.
A few weeks later, as he tucked his daughter into bed, her prayer took a chilling turn, “God bless mommy, and goodbye daddy.”
Feeling a chill run down his spine, he breathed a sigh of relief when he woke up the next morning, unharmed.
Later that day, he remarked to a friend, “I had the worst day of my life.”
His friend replied, “If you think your day was hard, you won’t believe what happened to me…”
