There's No Surfing in Heaven.

When Jesus said to thief to his left as he was dying, "I'll see you in Paradise today."  He did, but not in the way in which I think most think of it.  They both went to Paradise. Imagine it.  Your shit life is ending next to the biggest rock star of your generation.  The bastard banker bitches colluded revenge and Jesus H. Christ is a few feet away bleeding out.  Everyone is making fun of him.  Ain't it great when fools love to try to look down on people even when their literally dying because of poor life decisions?

Now our friends have peace.  In Death.  I can't imagine a better way to go.  I can imagine something similar for myself in my end days.  

I was sitting on the beach watching my younger son play in the waves with his friend.  Everything was perfect.  Clear sky.  Light breeze.  Warm but not hot sunshine on my shoulders.  Then the demon which is me in my head muttered painfully and truthfully.  God I hate my fucking life.  No irony.  This is literally how I felt.
