JOTD

My best friend passed away, and at his grave, I said,

“Bro, I really miss you. My wife has been pregnant for 8 months now. How about you reincarnate as my child?”

A month later, my wife gave birth to a big boy. As my child grew older each day, I realized he looks a lot like my best friend.

I’m really happy that my prayer worked.
