This happy little tale takes places with a family of five. A Mommy, a Daddy, Grammy, Grandpa and a little daughter of the mommy and daddy. About nine or so.
It begins in the little girls room, it was time for bed and the girl was finishing her night-time prayers. Who happened to be at her door to tuck her in was the little girls daddy. He came in just time to hear her say,"And dear God, bless mommy, bless daddy, bless grammy . . . . . Goodbye grandpa. " The Daddy thought this was strange, but shrugged it off because grandpa was going somewhere tomorrow, fishing maybe. So the daddy tucked his daughter into bed, kissed her goodnight and went to sleep himself.
The next morning . . . . Grandpa dies.
It statled the daddy a bit, but he remembered the doctor saying that grandpa had a heart attack in his sleep and didn't say anything to his wife so not to worry her.
Later the day then come night, it was time for bed. Just out of curiosity, the daddy listens to his little daughter finish her prayers. "And dear God, bless mommy, bless daddy. . . . Goodbye grammy." A bit concerned, the daddy tucks her in, kisses the little girl good night and went to bed.
The next morning . . . . Grammy dies.
The daddy is now a bit frightened, even though the docter says Grammy had a stroke in her sleep it didn't help when night came and the little girl was finishing her prayers.
"And dear God, bless mommy. . . . Goodbye daddy."
Scared for his life now, the daddy let his wife tuck in her daughter and went to bed. But he hardly had any sleep as he stayed up all night watching the ceiling fan spin. The following morning, after saying a good morning to the mail man, the daddy was careful with everything. He avoided the stove, the knifes, fireplace and any thing else at home that would be the daddy's end. At work, the daddy took the stairs, slowly taking one step at a time. Stayed away from shelfs, the break room, anything hot, anything heavy, just about everything really.
By the end of the day, after taking a cautious walk home disillusioned and tired. The daddy unlocks the front door and his wife was there to greet him. Making him jump in surprise the mommy notices her husband's weary look. She asks him if he was okay, the daddy looks up at her with exhausted eyes and notices that she had been crying. Maybe from those soap operas she watches, the daddy thinks to himself.
"Yeah, I'm good," He replies, "I've just been having a bad day." And the mommy says to her husband-
"You think you're having a bad day," She says, "The mail man died out in the front yard this morning."
