A man and
his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying
the scenery,
when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He
remembered dying,
and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for
years. He wondered
where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along
one side of the
road. It looked like fine marble. At the top
of a long hill, it was broken
by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it
he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that
looked like Mother of Pearl, and
the street that led to the gate looked like
pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got
closer, he saw a man
at a desk to one side. When he was close
enough, he called out, "Excuse me,
where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the
man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some
ice water brought right
up." The man gestured, and the gate
began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog,
"come in, too?" the traveler
asked.
"I'm sorry sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the
road and continued
the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long
hill, he came to a
dirt road which led through a farm gate that
looked as if it had never been
closed. There was no fence. As he approached
the gate, he saw a man inside,
leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do
you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there". The man
pointed to a place that
couldn't be seen from outside the gate.
"Come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler
gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump." They went
through the gate, and sure
enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump
with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink
himself, and then he gave
some to the dog. When they were full, he and
the dog walked back toward the
man who was standing by the tree waiting for
them. "What do you call this
place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.
"The man down the road said
that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and
pearly gates? Nope. That's
Hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name
like that?"
"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just
happy that they
screen out the folks who'll leave their best
friends behind."

Our daughter
sent this email to me one day, saying it reminded her of
her dad. In fact, it seemed so much like something Rick would do,
that I wanted to share it with others that knew him.
I asked
her to send me more. As word spread, I began receiving so
many that I created the library. As time went by I had to
create another, and
another, and...
