A Dream

The other night I had a dream. I dreamt that I had died and gone to heaven. I realized immediately I didn't belong. I asked God what I had done to to deserve such an exception.

God responded, "Your children will grow up to be better people than you are, they will be a success where you were a failure, they will avoid the mistakes you made, and make better choices. They will realize the dreams you have and that will be only the beginning.”

“So I make it to heaven because I was a good parent?”

“No, you are here because you children will be lonely without you. Now, go back and be the type of parent you wish you were.”
