Old Man in Heaven

There was an old man in heaven who was seated looking at planet Earth with a long face. In a place of eternal happiness, this aged man caught the attention of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus approached him and said, "Sir, it puzzles me to see you unhappy in a place that knows no sadness. What ails you to look back at Earth with such bitterness?" The old man replied, "I was a carpenter in a previous life. By divine intervention, I was granted a son of my very own. I cherished every moment I shared with him. Then one day, he was missing. I searched everywhere and I failed to find him. Before I died, I wasn't able to know where he is. I wonder what he is doing now. I wonder if he still remembers me." 

Jesus was in tears and asked him, "Father?"

With tears of joy, the old man lovingly embraced Jesus, and said, "Pinocchio!"
