It was a rainy Tuesday evening when three lifelong friends Mike, Dave, and Jerry were driving home from a legendary guys’ night out. The roads were slick, the playlist was perfect, and the laughter was loud. Then, in a split second, a deer darted across the highway…
CRASH.
The next thing they knew, the three friends were standing together on a soft, glowing cloud. Before them stretched the most magnificent gates imaginable pearly, radiant, and humming with a peace that felt like home. And standing before the gates was none other than St. Peter himself, holding a golden ledger and wearing a smile that was both welcoming and… slightly evaluative.
“Welcome, gentlemen,” St. Peter said warmly. “Before you enter, I have one question for each of you.
It’s simple, but important.”
He turned to the first friend, Mike a dedicated physician who had spent his life saving others.
“When you are in your casket, and your friends and family are gathered to mourn you… what would you like to hear them say about you?”
Mike didn’t hesitate. He stood tall, pride in his eyes.
“I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor… that I healed the sick, comforted the grieving, and always put my family first. That I was a great family man.”
St. Peter nodded respectfully, made a note in his ledger, and turned to the second friend, Dave a beloved high school teacher and devoted husband.
“And you? What would you like to hear?”
Dave smiled softly, thinking of his classroom and his wife.
“I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband… and a school teacher who made a huge difference in the lives of our children. That I inspired them to dream bigger and be kinder.”
St. Peter smiled, added another note, and finally turned to the third friend, Jerry. Jerry had always been the wildcard of the group—the prankster, the life of the party, the one who could make a funeral home feel like a comedy club.
“And you, Jerry?” St. Peter asked, pen poised. “What would you like to hear them say?”
Jerry leaned in conspiratorially. He glanced at his two friends, then back at St. Peter, and with a mischievous grin, replied:
“I would like to hear them say…
‘LOOK!!! HE’S MOVING!!!!!'”
