        <description>Softball in Heaven? 
Author unknown

&amp;nbsp;
Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been friends all of their lives. 
&amp;nbsp;
When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day. 
&amp;nbsp;
One day Barb said, &#039;Rose, we both loved playing women&#039;s softball all our lives, and we played in all through High School. 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
Please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there&#039;s women&#039;s softball there.&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
Rose looked up at Barb from her deathbed, &#039;Barb, you&#039;ve been my best friend for many years. If it&#039;s at all possible, I&#039;ll do this favor for you.&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
,
Shortly after that, Rose passed on.
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
At midnight a couple of nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, &#039;Barb, Barb.&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;Who is it?&#039; asked Barb, sitting up suddenly.. &#039;Who is it?&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;Barb -- it&#039;s me, Rose.&#039;&#039;You&#039;re not Rose. Rose just died.&#039;&#039;I&#039;m telling you, it&#039;s me, Rose,&#039; insisted the voice. 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;Rose! Where are you?&#039; &#039;In Heaven,&#039; replied Rose. &#039;I have some really good news and a little bad news.&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;Tell me the good news first,&#039; said Barb.
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;The good news,&#039; Rose said, &#039;is that there&#039;s Softball in Heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we&#039;re all young again. Better still, it&#039;s always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.&#039; &#039;That&#039;s fantastic,&#039; said Barb. &#039;It&#039;s beyond my wildest dreams! 
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;So what&#039;s the bad news?&#039; 
&amp;nbsp;
&#039;You&#039;re pitching Tuesday.&#039;</description>
