Jonathan Smith/Arthur Thompson is back up in Heaven with the Boss/God and God says, "You did well on your first assignment but the next one might be a little tougher because it will involve your wife and family."

Arthur/Jonathan, "Oh, will they recognize me and are they ok?"

God answers no they will not recognize you and as far as them being ok that will depend on how you handle this assignment. Again before you go down we are going to take another look at your past."

God again opens Arthur's book of memories and says, "We left off when your Grandpa passed and at his funeral. We now return to 6 months later."

Arthur is looking at the page in the memory book and sees that he is hanging out with some teenagers at school who were smoking and one of them offers Arthur a cigarette and says, "This will take your mind off of losing your grandfather here have one."

Arthur replies, "I guess it won't hurt to try one."

Arthur takes a puff and he doesn't like it at first but pretends that he does because he wants to forget about his Granddad and two because he wants to be a part of the crowd."

Up in Heaven Arthur says to God, "I really didn't want to start smoking but it was the only thing I saw that might help.

"Well," God asked, "Did it? You died of lung cancer."

"No," answers Arthur, "I guess it didn't."

God says, "Now to continue," As He turns the pages of the memory book to 3 years later. Arthur is married to Jane Thompson.

Arthur says to God, "That's my beautiful wife, she was so patient with me and my smoking even though I didn't listen to her when she kept telling me that smoking was bad for me and it might kill me later. Now look her and Mandy have lost their husband and father."

God answers, "Yes, that is right. Do you see both of you sitting on the couch in this picture in the book? She is telling you she is pregnant and how she wishes you would stop smoking for the sake of the child."

Arthur answers, "Yes, I remember that but I was stubborn and didn't listen to her." God then shows Arthur the day of his passing in the Hospital and how Mandy, his daughter and his wife Jane Thompson was crying after the Doctor announced he was gone and says, "Your wife and teenage daughter loves you and misses you."

Arthur asks once again, "How are they now?"

God answers as he opens up the curtains of Heaven, "Now look down and see what is going on."

Arthur looks down and sees his daughter Mandy who is 16 years old, the same age Arthur was when he lost his Grandad with a group of teenagers and a boy by the name of Tommy who Mandy likes. Tommy offers Mandy a cigarette. Arthur calls down to Heaven, "No, Sweetie don't take it!"

Arthur looks over to God and asks, "My Mandy isn't going to start smoking like I did?"

"Arthur," God answers, "That is your next assignment to help her see that is not the way to go."

Will Arthur/Jonathan Smith be able to help his daughter?
